Jewish schools accept a wide variety of Jews with different levels of belief and practice. There are six main secondary schools in London. Families from all parts of the Jewish community send their children to these Jewish schools although the schools will vary in the emphasis they place on religious practice. All of the schools share a common aim in strengthening young people’s Jewish identity and knowledge in a variety of ways.

Time spent varies between schools. More information can be found on the schools’ websites. All schools take their commitment to community cohesion seriously and want to ensure their pupils grow up as contributing citizens who appreciate the breadth of cultures that make modern day Britain so special.

CRP is shorthand for a Certificate of Religious Practice.  For most Jewish schools, when applying for a place at either a primary or secondary school, you will need to have completed one.

 

In 2012 all voluntary-aided schools in London and South Hertfordshire will announce their offers of secondary places in Y7 and Y12 on 1 March.  The dates for independent schools will vary and you should consult their individual websites for more information.
