Beis Rochel D'Satmar School is an independent, Orthodox school for boys aged 2 to 11 run by the Satmar sect. The school is run by the Talmud Torah Torah Veyirah D'Satmar London Limited. The school’s curriculum includes Kodesh (Jewish studies) as well as Chol (secular subjects). Most of the teaching in early years and Year 1 is in Yiddish.

An Ofsted inspection in 2022 found that the school had failed to "actively promotes the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs".[1]

Talmud Torah Torah Veyirah D'Satmar London Limited's charitable objectives are "the advancement of Orthodox Jewish religious education primarily but not exclusively by the establishing and maintaining a kindergarten and primary school for Jewish boys in the North London area. ii) the advancement of the Orthodox Jewish faith and iii) the advancement of such other objects as are for the benefit of public and are charitable according to English law".

Registration and inspections

The school was created when Beis Rochel d'Satmar Girls' School split into separate boys' and girls' schools to comply with the Equality Act 2010. Ofsted carried out a pre-registration inspection in August 2019 and found that the school was likely to meet the independent school standards.[5] The Department for Education records that it opened on 28 January 2020 and has 611 pupils on roll against a capacity of 1,000.[6]

In February 2025 Ofsted judged the school good, with outstanding behaviour and attitudes, and found that it met the independent school standards. It reported that the school occupies purpose-built premises at 180 Bethune Road, with further sites at 105 Cranwich Road and 91 Amhurst Park, all forming one campus. It also reported that most of the school day is given to Kodesh (Jewish studies), "predominantly taught in Yiddish", and that some secular subjects are taught within the Kodesh curriculum. The report named the proprietor as Talmud Torah Torah Veyirah D'Satmar London Limited, the chair as Rabbi Samuel Law and the headteacher as Rabbi Emmanuel Patcas, and described fees as "voluntary".[7]
