General information

Background: Beth Jacob Grammar School for Girls is an independent day school. It was established in 1980 and occupied split-site premises in Golders Green; in 1998 it moved to purpose-built premises in Hendon. Pupils at the school are able to take part in extra-curricular activities. Some of these, such as lunchtime sports events, occur on a daily or weekly basis, but others are seasonal. A large number of Year 9 pupils take part in an annual walking holiday which involves staying in a youth hotel, either in Wales or the Lake District. Girls are encouraged to take part in voluntary extra-curricular activity. They help families with specific needs, visit old people's homes to entertain them, and occasionally organise projects for raising money for such things. .

Inspection: January 2001: 'Beth Jacob Grammar School for Girls is highly successful in promoting pupils' spiritual, moral and social development within the context of a strictly observant Jewish educational philosophy. Pupils make good progress as they move through the school and they attain standards above the national average for similar schools at GCSE, A-level, and in the City and Guilds vocational examinations. The quality of teaching is generally good throughout the school and across all subjects. In spite of time constraints, the school offers its pupils a rich curriculum which balances its religious and secular strands. The school cares very well for its pupils and promotes very good relationships among pupils and between pupils and adults. Pupils' behaviour is good, they have very positive attitudes towards the school, and the school is successful in promoting their welfare, but it needs to provide a clearly documented child protection policy. There is good provision for pupils with special educational needs. The school is very well led and there is good management at all levels. The accommodation is well used to provide a stimulating environment for teaching and learning.'
