Despite the national fall in GCSE passes, some Jewish schools managed to beat last year's performance.

Kantor King Solomon High School is celebrating its best set of GCSEs with a dramatic improvement on 2015; 77 per cent of its pupils achieved five or more GCSEs at A* to C including maths and English - currently the standard national performance measure -compared to 57 per cent last year.

Its previous best was 71 per cent eight years ago.

Matthew Slater, KKS headteacher, said the results were "a testament to the focus, determination, skill and tenacity of our teaching staff and our students. This school has been through a journey, and I am honoured to have led it to this record-breaking point."
