Another Chasidic school has been marked down by Ofsted because it does not discuss LGBT issues with pupils.
Beis Ruchel Girls’ School, an independent primary in Manchester, did not teach about “different kinds of families and gender issues,” leaving them unaware of “some of the characteristics of people in modern Britain”.
Although the school was committed to teaching respect and tolerance for all people, its diversity policy excluded some of the protected characteristics listed in the Equality Act.
Protected characteristics include same-sex orientation and gender reassignment, which Charedi rabbis have insisted should not be brought up in the classroom.
