Hasmonean to split into two schools after legal ruling

Hasmonean High School is to split formally into two schools as a result of the recent court ruling on gender segregation.

However, it appears the measure will be largely administrative without deeper impact on the school, which has operated separate boys and girls divisions on different sites for more than a half a century.

Andrew McClusky, executive headteacher of Hasmonean, told parents in an email that the Department for Education “will require Hasmonean to de-amalgamate into two separate schools but there will be no further implications for the school other than this”.

He said the DfE would be writing with further information to advise on the process.
