London primary launches new awards scheme named after Rabbi Sacks

Sacks Morasha has launched a new awards scheme to promote Jewish values in honour of the late Rabbi Lord Sacks, after whom the Orthodox primary was named.

It will operate like the Duke of Edinburgh Awards, with pupils given the chance to achieve different levels at various points through their school career.

The scheme was created by the North Finchley school’s head of Kodesh (Jewish studies), Gideon Restan, who said, “The Rabbi Sacks Awards is more than a programme — it’s the golden thread that runs through our school.

“As the only school in the world to bear Rabbi Sacks’ name, we feel a tremendous responsibility and privilege to continue his legacy. This award ensures that every child finds their own pathway to greatness, living out the values of kindness, learning, and community that Rabbi Sacks so deeply embodied.”
