It was a voluntary aided school (URN 131229) until 28 February 2019.[1] It then became an academy converter (URN 146664) on 1 March 2019, and closed on 31 August 2021 with 18 pupils on roll.

History and Israel
At its first inspection, in January 2001, Ofsted reported the school's aims as fostering "a positive identity with orthodox Judaism, Israel and the Jewish people".[3] In 2006 it listed after-school clubs including "Israeli dancing".[4]
- On 19 May 2023 The Jewish Chronicle reported that Knopf, who later made aliyah at 18 and enlisted into an IDF combat role via Garin Tzabar, "attended the Moriah Jewish Day School for primary before moving to JFS for secondary school."[5]
Inspections
Ofsted judged the school good in 2006, 2009 and 2014, and judged that it required improvement in June 2018.[6][7]
