An independent Chasidic boys school in Stamford Hill has been told its pupils need to learn more about other faiths and different family set-ups in order to meet educational standards.

Beis Aharon was ranked as a school which “requires improvement” - the same Ofsted grade when inspected last year but higher than its inadequate rating in 2014.

Inspectors recognised efforts to improve maths and English but said these needed to go further to “secure good progress for pupils”.

While pupils had basic knowledge of Christianity and Islam, Ofsted said their knowledge of faith other than their own was “not sufficiently extensive”.
