Activities

The annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 march 2020 revealed that during the year, "the charity paid rent totaling £42,000 (2019: £Nil) to Jewish Training Academy for Girls (JTAG) Ltd, a company in which Mr Aaron Grossman, a trustee, is a director."[2]

In 2015, the school sparked controversy when rabbis of the Belz Hasidic group in London said that children whose mothers drive them to school will be banned.

In May, Belz rabbis in London issued a letter saying that female drivers violate “the traditional rules of modesty in our camp” and that children would be expelled from Belz schools if their mothers dropped them off by car beginning in August with the new school year. Many Hasidic groups in the United States also frown upon women driving. In response to the letter, the Equality and Human Rights Commission wrote to the schools to say that it would be against the law to deny children entry on such grounds, according to the Chronicle.

The commission later said that it has received a “satisfactory response” from the leaders of the Talmud Torah Machzikei Hadass boys school and the Beis Malka girls school over the threat after the schools had offered assurances that “they will not exclude or refuse admission to any child or apply any other sanction on the basis of their mother driving.”[3]. According to the Jewish Chronicle, this policy came from the Belzer spiritual leader and rabbi in Israel, Rabbi Yissachar Dov Rokeac.The education secretary at the time, Nicky Morgan condemned the ban calling it “completely unacceptable in modern Britain”.[4]

In 2016, The Times of Israel reported that swastikas and the phrase “f*** off” were painted on vehicles parked outside of the Beis Malka Jewish Girls School.[5]
