Beit Shvidler Primary in Edgware can enjoy the winter holidays on the back of a strong Ofsted report praising it as a “happy place” where pupils care for and look after each other.

The Orthodox school was rated as good five years ago but state schools are no longer given an overall grade at inspection.

But its latest report was clear about the quality of teaching and pupil attitudes.
“The school’s high national assessment results reflect the strong learning and teaching pupils receive,” Ofsted said.

In Sats this year, 86 per cent of pupils reached the expected national standard for reading, writing and maths — one of the highest proportions achieved by a Jewish school.
