Jewish state-aided primary schools have again excelled in this year’s Sats with the vast majority doing better than the national average.
In 31 of the 35 Jewish schools, more children reached the expected level for their age in reading, writing and maths than the average of 65 per cent for England as a whole.
Jewish pupils overall were the best-performing faith group according to the Department for Education with 78 per cent reaching the expected level.
Nearly a fifth of Jewish school pupils, 19 per cent, reached the higher level of attainment in the summer tests — compared to 11 per cent nationally.
