A state-aided Charedi primary school in Manchester is planning to split into separate boys' and girls' schools following a Court of Appeal ruling on equality.
Yesoiday Hatorah in Prestwich will take similar steps to those taken by Hasmonean High School in London, which also plans to formally divide into two single-sex institutions.
It follows a court decision in late 2017 that a Muslim school in Birmingham was acting unlawfully by keeping boys and girls entirely apart.
However, Ofsted has told Yesoiday Hatorah, which teaches boys and girls separately, that in the meantime it must do more to enable them to socialise together.
