Sacks Morasha Jewish Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 12 July 2023

This is an inclusive school where pupils build strong relationships with each other. Leaders have established a set of shared values that are central to school life. Pupils here are happy, kind and work together to make the school 'a lovely place to be'. Leaders have high aspirations for pupils. They want them to achieve the very best standards. Pupils respond well. They work hard in lessons and develop a love for learning. Pupils here are confident and articulate. They leave this school with the knowledge, skills and attributes they need to succeed in the next stage of their education. Pupils behave well. This is a calm and orderly school, but also a school where pupils can have fun. They play and socialise with each other at breaktimes and lunchtimes, showing genuine consideration for each other's well-being. As pupils move through the school, they take increasing responsibility for their own behaviour. Leaders provide pupils with a wide range of opportunities to develop their talents and interests. Pupils enjoy residential trips and activities, and events linked to the school's Jewish character. They take part in significant charity work. This is a school where pupils give back to the wider community.

What the school should improve

• In some subjects, there is not a clear rationale for the sequencing of the curriculum. Leaders' thinking about pupils' development of subject-specific skills sometimes lacks rigour. This means that some pupils do not build up their subject-specific knowledge and understanding in a logical and coherent manner. Leaders should ensure that they develop the curriculum further in these subjects, so that pupils build up a coherent body of substantive and disciplinary knowledge.
