Beis Ruchel Girls School

Beis Ruchel Girls School is an independent, Satmar Orthodox Jewish school for girls aged 2 to 11 in Salford. It is run by Beis Ruchel School Ltd (Company number 03561612; Charity number: 1074439)

The 2024 Ofsted inspection found that, “Nevertheless, the school does not actively promote mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs, as required by the independent school standards (‘the standards’). For example, pupils do not learn about different religions and values, nor about the rich cultural diversity of the city where they live. Also, pupils have a cursory understanding of fundamental British values, such as individual liberty. Furthermore, the school censors images of people wearing clothing that do not fit the orthodox Jewish principle of modesty. These decisions fail to adequately promote pupils’ understanding and tolerance of people different to themselves.”
