Ruth Lunzer Girls Primary School, Hackney

A Lubavitch school whose application form listed the only options to a question on ethnic background to be “white” has been told to revise its entry rules. The state-aided Ruth Lunzer Girls Primary School in Hackney was also told its religious criteria for allocating places was too vague. The Office of the Schools Adjudicator (OSA) partially upheld a complaint against the school, which is part of the Lubavitch Multi-Academy Trust, that was made by the National Secular Society. According to the Schools Admissions Code, the criteria used for deciding places must be “fair, clear and objective”.
The case adjudicator, Bryan Slater, took issue with some of the requests for information on an application form published online, including one which stated: “Ethnic background: White-Orthodox Jewish/ White-British/ White-European/ White-Other”.[6]
