Beis Yaakov High School is a Jewish secondary school with academy status for girls. It is in Higher Broughton, Salford, in the English county of Greater Manchester.[1] See Beis Yaakov for a discussion of the school's philosophy and positioning.

The school primarily serves the Haredi Jewish community in Salford, Bury, and Manchester. It was founded as a private school in 1957, and became a state-funded voluntary aided school in 2005. The school converted to academy status in 2012.[2]

The School was declared as "Requires Improvement" by Ofsted in 2016, and again in 2022. The School was then placed in Special Measures with the Ofsted report stating in the first line of the 2022 Report that "Over time, leaders have prioritised the needs of staff to the detriment of pupils’ education. There is a deeply entrenched culture among staff of apathy and lack of routine. Staff do not take their roles as educators seriously enough."[3]

In July 2023 a monitoring inspection concluded that the School had made some progress to address these failings but remained in special measures due to continuing inadequacies in quality of education and teaching.[4]
