Overview
Overview
Jewish religious life shapes Ateres Girls High School's girls-only secondary education. The Felling school is open, non-boarding and has no sixth form; in June 2024 it had 284 pupils against a capacity of 300. The result is a focused 11-to-16 community rather than an all-through campus.
The curriculum reaches across languages, arts, science, technology and mathematics. Most subjects were well sequenced and pupils did well in GCSEs, while some still needed stronger organisation to build secure and coherent knowledge. Pupils with SEND follow the same curriculum, with reading support available where needed.
Educational visits, sport, arts and crafts sit within a calm, orderly day. The religious ethos supports personal development, but the June 2024 outcome also identified significant gaps in relationships education, including sexual orientation, gender reassignment, sexual harassment, sexual violence, and coercive and controlling behaviour. Overall effectiveness and personal development required improvement, while safeguarding was effective.
Applications are made directly to the school. An entrance assessment, registration timetable, fees and priority rules are not confirmed here, so these require direct confirmation. The verified picture is a girls' 11-to-16 education with a broad subject base, Jewish ethos and clear areas still requiring development.
