Relation to Zionism
- 'The school has also forged links with Rav Maimon School in Israel. Pupils exchange letters, and staffs have visited each other’s schools. The school has an Informal Jewish Education Coordinator who plans a variety of activities and celebrations for the Chagim (Jewish Festivals) and Yom Ha’atzmaut (Israel Independence Day). These help to promote the Jewish ethos of the school, and provide enjoyable informal learning opportunities.' [1]
- Anonymous parent view in Pikuach report 2019: 'There is a heavy over emphasis on the State of Israel in Kodesh (in my opinion)'[1]
- The 'Ideal graduate': 'Appreciates the religious significance of Eretz Yisrael (Israel) in the context of the wider world, and the importance of the State of Israel and its institutions.'[2]
