Hasmonean High School has confirmed it will comply with an order to amend its admissions procedure.

The Orthodox state school said it was "reviewing and updating our admissions policies to ensure that we abide by the current regulations regarding admissions, that our school's ethos is upheld and that we reflect the needs of the Orthodox Jewish community."

The move comes after a complaint was upheld by Office of the Schools Adjudicator (OSA).

The Fair Admissions Campaign had objected to questions the school asks about prospective parents' levels of observance.
