Relation to Zionism
- 'Approximately 53 % of the pupils on the role are Jewish, 35% are Christian, 10% Muslim, and then other. Around 20% of curriculum time is devoted to Jewish Studies, and both Jewish and non-Jewish pupils are taught Jewish Studies together.' [1]
- 'The school promotes a positive commitment to Modern Orthodox Judaism, and a proud sense of identity with Israel. The school provides an inclusive Jewish education that is full of challenge, interest and fun for all pupils, regardless of their own faith or beliefs.' [1]
- 'The school’s leaders ensure that teachers receive focused and highly effective professional development. Leaders organise In Service Training (INSET) every Monday after school. INSET sessions that have taken place this year include Safeguarding, Marking and Feedback, Special Educational Needs, and preparation for Yom Ha’atzmaut (Israel Independence Day).'[1]
- 'We commemorated Yom Hazikaron in school with a special assembly and the lighting of a candle in memory of those who have lost their lives fighting for the State of Israel and victims of terror. We were delighted to welcome Oded Gvaram, our Community Shaliach, who spoke about his experiences in the Israel Defence Force (IDF).'[2]
- Yes - it rained on Yom Ha'atzmaut but it didn't dampen our spirits! Pupils enjoyed a day of arts and crafts working together to create a whole school wall collage. The rain held off so we could enjoy our picnic lunch and we even managed to dance in the playground. In the evening, our Israeli Dance Group put on an outstanding performance at the RJCC Yom Ha'atzmaut Gala Show. [2]
