Ofsted apologises to Stamford Hill Jewish school for ‘erroneously published’ report
Ofsted has apologised to Beis Malka Girls’ School in Stamford Hill
Ofsted has apologised to an independent Orthodox Jewish girls’ school in Stamford Hill for publishing its report ‘erroneously’ .
A report of an inspection of Beis Malka Girls’ School last June appeared on the Ofsted website without the school being given the chance to respond to the draft report.
An Ofsted spokesperson said: “We found that the school inspection report was erroneously published before it should have been and we have apologised to the school for this.”
The report was found to be accurate and is now formally published on the Ofsted website.
School governor Rabbi Dovid Spitzer told the Jewish News: “We strive to be an outstanding school and are working on some of the areas that the original report highlighted.
“We aim to provide the best possible education to our children.”
Beis Malka Girls’ School, run by the Orthodox Belz community, was slammed last year for threatening to expel children whose mothers drove to school.
The school did not respond to a request for comment.
On a point of principle, your report “Ofsted has apologised to an independent Orthodox Jewish girls’ school in Stamford Hill for publishing its report ‘erroneously’ ” illustrates the FACT that someone inside the OFSTED organisation was being less than careful.
This episode, no matter how relatively small, is confirmation that the regime under the
current OFSTED frontman, has been very much like the one when Chris Woody Woodhead
had been launched on the Media under the “Labour” administration.
OFSTED is NOT in the “news” about the Ethics, the Morality of Education but about
opportunism that “coincides” with certain racial, race-related or faith-related outlets
that target non-Christian or mainly non-Christian Educational organisations.
I shall give chapter and verse if the OFSTED front man “invites” me to.
