A Jewish school in London is refusing to teach pupils about same-sex relationships despite warnings from education watchdog Ofsted.
The Talmud Torah Machzikei Hadass, a strictly Orthodox school in Hackney, was rebuked by Ofsted for failing to meet the requirements of the curriculum, 5pillarsuk.com reports.
In a recent inspection report Ofsted said: «The curriculum did not pay regard to all the protected characteristics, specifically same-sex relationships and gender reassignment. Leaders are absolutely clear that they continue to have no intention of referencing same-sex relationships and gender reassignment with pupils».
An independent day school for boys of the Jewish faith, Talmud Torah Machzikei Hadass has 641 pupils between 3 to 16 and is chaired by Rabbi Baumgarten and Rabbi Klein.
