Hannele Reece, headteacher of Kantor King Solomon High, launched a school fundraising drive with a sponsored 85-kilometre “royal” cycle ride from Windsor Castle to Greenwich Observatory.

Brothers Michael and Jonathan Goldstein, leaders respectively of the United Synagogue and the Jewish Leadership Council, who are originally from Ilford, are staging a chazanut concert at St Johns Wood Synagogue on Sunday week in memory of their late father Jerry and donating the proceeds to KKSHS and Wohl Ilford Primary School.

King Solomon will be trying to match the funds with a series of challenges for Sports Week next week.
