Inspections
In November 2024 Ofsted judged that the school required improvement. It named Shimon Gluck as proprietor and said that "pupils have only a superficial understanding of difference, especially in relation to faith, culture and the protected characteristics".[2] Ofsted also judged the school as requiring improvement in 2017, 2020 and 2022.[3][4]
