What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 2 December 2025

This happy and inclusive school comes to life when the first pupils start to arrive. Their smiles and eagerness show a genuine excitement for what they know the school day is about to bring. The warm greetings, from staff at the front gate to the teachers at the classroom doors, help pupils to feel really well cared for. Staff know pupils extremely well. This helps everyone to feel welcome, known and valued. Pupils are especially proud to help new children to settle in and make friends. Year 6 prefects are brilliant role models. They act as 'mini teachers' as they accompany younger children from the front gate to their classes, engaging them in purposeful conversations along the way. From the early years up, pupils show a thirst for learning new things. They work hard and try their best. They particularly like that teachers make learning fun and interesting. The school's ethos very much focuses on promoting pupils' all-round development. Staff are always looking to celebrate pupils' strengths, foster their interests and address any barriers to their learning and wellbeing. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities thrive and make great progress. Pupils' achievements are also reflected in the school's above-average results in national assessments. Pupils' behaviour is excellent. Even the youngest children quickly learn the importance of sharing and taking turns. Bullying is rare. Staff sort out any problems well. Pupils feel safe. Everything that happens at Rosh Pinah helps pupils to be very well prepared for their next steps. They leave the school academically ready but also with a strong understanding of the world around them, including the importance of valuing and respecting diversity. Pupils particularly like their residential trips, such as 'Shabbaton', which help them to understand aspects of their own religion but also to develop resilience and independence.
