Pardes House Grammar School has shown some improvements since its last inspection, moving from inadequate to a 'requires improvement' rating overall. While pupils are generally happy, safe, and eager to learn, the school's educational outcomes are hampered by inconsistencies in the curriculum and teaching quality. The school offers a broad secular curriculum and pupils engage well in their studies, yet significant gaps remain in how knowledge is delivered and assessed, particularly regarding special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) support and the integration of relationships and sex education (RSE).

Strengths
- Pupils are happy and safe, and enjoy their time at school.
- The school offers a broad curriculum enabling study across various subjects.
- Pupils generally behave well and show respect to staff and one another.
- Teachers are specialists in their subject areas and support pupils to commit knowledge to long-term memory.
- Leaders are rigorous in checking attendance and implementing a new behaviour policy.
Areas for Improvement
- Curriculum does not enable deep knowledge and understanding across all subjects.
- Assessment practices do not consistently identify and address gaps or misconceptions in pupil understanding.
- Teachers lack access to relevant up-to-date training for their subject specialisms.
- Support for pupils with SEND is overly focused on testing rather than curriculum access.
- RSE and PSHE programmes do not fully adhere to statutory guidance.
