Praise for a British Charedi School

According to the Jewish Chronicle, Beis Ruchel in Manchester, an independent school for 264 girls aged from three to 11 who are mostly from the Satmar community, has been ranked as good by Ofsted, the British Office for Standards in Education, Children's Services and Skills.

Girls enjoyed a broad and balanced curriculum, their behavior was exemplary and teaching in reading and maths was effective, the report noted.

While their Jewish studies lessons were conducted in Yiddish, these complemented their secular curriculum as pupils studied aspects of music, geography and history through Jewish teachings.

Year six pupils spoke in an assembly about the pros and cons of Brexit and were encouraged to take an interest in the democratic process.
Beis Ruchel's philosophy was rooted in the "values of the pursuit of justice for all, the call to 'love your neighbor as yourself' and to follow ways of peace," Ofsted said.

Pupils expressed the belief "that everyone is of equal value and deserving of respect. As a consequence, the community does not tolerate discrimination and the school's work to ensure equality of opportunities is admirable. This makes a significant contribution to pupils' understanding of the fundamental British values and respect for others."
