School slams 'inadequate' Ofsted rating

Ofsted inspectors found that pupils at the independent boys' school have been 'severely let down by leaders in all aspects of their school life! The Ahavas Torah Boys Academy has now been deemed 'inadequate' following an inspection between November 30 and December 2 last year.

But, despite the report highlighting pupils being forced to learn in 'dirty and damaged classrooms' and that teachers' expectations are 'low, the school insisted that students were thriving and said the Ofsted report was 'unfortunate!

A spokesman said: "Our school is thankfully doing really well; the students are happy and thriving, and the parents are unanimously delighted. We would welcome any genuine desire to verify that this is the case."

They added: "So much so that the report is not worthy of our comment."
