It may not have quite been the Oscars but Yavneh College students enjoyed a prize-giving from Hollywood.

Top TV producer Ben Winston digitally gave out awards donated by his family to encourage the college’s new sixthform Jewish studies programme.

Yahadut, developed with the help of PaJeS and introduced in September, offers the choice of six tracks: history, philosophy, ethics, Israel, leadership or beit midrash learning.

Mr Winston, executive co-producer of The Late Late Show with James Cordon, awarded the prizes in memory of his great-uncle Leo Golomb, a supporter of the arts. They were given for projects as part of the Yahadut course.
