School inspectors have praised the religious education provided at Shenley's Clore Shalom Jewish primary school.

The inspectors said the two-year-old primary school's religious curriculum was being delivered successfully, and that pupils were being given an excellent moral, social and cultural upbringing.

It was the first inspection of religious activities at the school, carried out by the Board of Deputies of British Jews, and headteacher Irene Kay said she was delighted it had gone so well.

"The inspectors acknowledged the positive attitude towards learning of the children, the commitment of our staff, the support of parents and the high standard of assemblies.

"We were thrilled with the inspection. We are a new school, and they really valued the work we had done."
