Ofsted inspectors have found significant improvement in the Kisharon special needs school in Golders Green, rating its overall effectiveness as good.
Their report describes the school as “a calm, supportive learning environment where pupils thrive both socially and academically”. In two of the individual categories — pupil behaviour and personal development, and welfare, health and safety — the grade was outstanding.
In a summary of findings, Ofsted noted a “broad and balanced” curriculum and good leadership and management.
Areas the school needed to improve in order to become outstanding included Jewish studies provision for the more able pupils and the greater involvement of governors.
