Inspection team deems The Ahavas Torah Boys Academy in Salford 'inadequate'
Ofsted inspectors found that pupils at the independent boys’ school have been ‘severely let down by leaders in all aspects of their school life’. The Ahavas Torah Boys Academy has now been deemed ‘inadequate’ following an inspection between November 30 and December 2 last year.
However in the report, published by Ofsted this month, the inspector found: “They [the pupils] do not receive the quality of care or education they deserve. “Despite this, pupils enjoy being with their friends at school. “Added to this, some pupils do not understand the work because teachers do not provide clear explanations. Pupils, including those with special education needs and/or disabilities do not achieve well.”
But the report said that although pupils know that they must respect people who they perceive people to be different to themselves, they do not learn about all of the ‘protected characteristics’ [race, gender, age, sexual orientation]. “Neither do they receive an appropriate programme of impartial careers education, advice and guidance,” it said. “This prevents pupils from being fully prepared for life in modern Britain.
“Leaders have not provided staff with sufficient up-to-date safeguarding training. Some staff struggle to remember the last time that they had such training or its content. Therefore, staff do not learn how to recognise when pupils may be at risk of harm, for example from child-on-child abuse.
