Yavneh College has confirmed it will open a bulge class for this September, increasing its intake from 150 to 180 students in 2019.

Spencer Lewis, headteacher of the Hertfordshire school, said it had taken the decision in the wake of the “huge demand” for places for Jewish state schools in London this year.

The school was “pleased to be able to help families without school places for September by providing them with the first-class secular and Jewish education of which we are so proud”.

Governors' chair Susan Nyman said that after discussions with Pajes, the Jewish Leadership Council’s schools network, “we felt it was important to help in this very real way by offering these extra places in 2019”.
