Satmar school receives fourth 'inadequate' grade

One of Stamford Hill’s largest schools has received its fourth inadequate rating from Ofsted in seven years.

Talmud Torah Yetev Lev, an independent boys’ primary which serves the Satmar community, has 985 pupils – over 400 more than the maximum for which it is registered with the Department for Education.

It remains under a restriction order, imposed by the DfE two years ago, not to admit any new pupils.

Leaders had increased the range of secular subjects. allocated more time to teaching them and recruited more teachers whose first language was English, Ofsted said in its latest report.
