The former JFS headteacher who resigned in May after a “leave of absence” is the new London School of Jewish Studies executive director.

Announcing Jonathan Miller’s appointment, LSJS said he would be responsible for “strategic and organisational leadership” at a time when the school was expanding. As well as creating more opportunities for teachers to develop and qualify, it was building its online presence to take its degree programmes worldwide.

“I am thrilled to apply my experience and passion for Jewish education to this superb organisation,” Mr Miller said.
