An Ofsted inspection of the Yesodey Hatorah Jewish school which left young girls feeling ‘severely shaken’ after being asked ‘attacking questions about sex’, was slammed by media commentators in March.
The snap inspection – the school was not due to be inspected – appears to have been prompted by headlines in the Guardian which said that the school had removed references to homosexuality from text books. Photographs of the books showed that every reference with sexual content had been deleted.
The inspection prompted the Revd Giles Fraser – an Anglican vicar and former Guardian columnist –to rebuke both Ofsted and the Government.
