Rimon head Sara Keen said that in seven years, pupil numbers had grown “from just 12 children to nearly 200. We have built and nurtured a fabulous staff team and have developed a secular and kodesh curriculum with clear intent, vision and purpose.
“Children are inspired to be the best that they can and to understand the importance of understanding diversity, challenging prejudice as well as understanding their own social responsibility, all within an Orthodox Jewish framework.
“Unfortunately, our fantastic school development is now under real threat of being stopped in its tracks, since government funding no longer covers our basic costs. Without help, we will be forced to cut back our recognised excellent provision to a bare, minimum standard, devoid of the richness, passion, aspiration and inspiration that our children deserve.”
