Good news for parents as Yavneh College offers extra places for 2023

Yavneh College in Borehamwood is to offer a bulge class next September, increasing year-7 places from 150 to 180.

Trustees of the heavily oversubscribed college — which was the top Jewish state school for academic progress up to GCSE this year — said they had taken the decision to add extra places because of high demand.

Executive headteacher Spencer Lewis said, “We have made this decision as early as possible to provide extra comfort to parents who may have concerns about year 7 places and we are delighted to be able to do it.”

Applications for secondary schools for 2023 closed at the end of last month.
