What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 25 November 2025

Pupils speak positively about their school and feel a sense of belonging to the Pardes family. Pupils enjoy learning. They know that their teachers expect them to work hard and achieve highly. Respectful relationships between staff and pupils permeate the school. Pupils have high attendance and arrive on time. Staff greet pupils warmly with a smile each morning. This creates a positive start to the school day. In the early years, staff respond quickly to children's individual needs, helping them feel secure and ready to learn. Pupils are confident that adults will listen and help if they have a worry, which makes them feel happy and safe. Pupils learn a broad, well-sequenced curriculum that builds on previous learning and develops the knowledge and skills they need to succeed. This prepares pupils well for the next stage of their education. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities, and those facing other barriers, learn alongside their peers and access all aspects of school life. Across the school, behaviour is excellent. From the early years, children follow well- established routines, take turns and share. Pupils act with kindness and respect in lessons and during social times. Bullying is rare because leaders act swiftly to address any incidents and pupils understand the impact of their actions on others. Leaders promote active citizenship and responsibility for others. For example, pupils check on their classmates who have been unwell. This reflects the culture of care and kindness that leaders have embedded across the school. Pupils read a wide range of carefully chosen texts that celebrate diversity. Visits to significant British institutions support pupils to learn about democracy and the rule of law. These experiences prepare pupils well for life in modern Britain.

What the school should improve

  • Leaders should ensure that staff consistently use their checks of what pupils know to adjust their teaching so that pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities, achieve well.
