What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 30 November 2021

Leaders welcome all pupils from Jewish and non-Jewish backgrounds at Wohl Ilford Jewish Primary School. Leaders have high expectations. Staff nurture pupils so that all can flourish here. Pupils are proud to be part of what they typically describe as, 'a warm and caring family of friends'. Pupils love coming to school and they feel safe. Pupils behave well and are sensitive to the needs of others. They play well together. All pupils are included and no one is left out. Pupils are confident to talk about their learning and take pride in their achievements. They enjoy coming together as a community. Pupils were joyful when taking part in prayers and the lighting of candles at Chanukah. Pupils know that staff listen to their concerns. They said that name-calling and bullying rarely happens. Staff deal with any issues quickly. Pupils are involved in making decisions about the school. They vote to elect each other to positions of responsibility, such as head boy, head girl and house captains.

What the school should improve

  • Leaders do not always make sure that pupils who are confident and fluent in their reading have access to a wide range of high-quality texts. This limits their exposure to ambitious and challenging reading materials. Leaders need to ensure that all pupils have access to high-quality reading books to widen their reading choices.
