The Sunday Times wrote: “Jewish faith schools prove that it is possible to score truly glittering exam results with a non-selective intake.”
Immanuel College in Bushey, Herts, was included in the paper’s table of the 200 top performing independent schools. Just over 84 per cent of Immanuel’s A-levels passes were graded A*-B and 71.5 per cent of its GCSEs graded A* or A.
Rabbi David Meyer, executive director of the Jewish educational agency PaJeS, praised the results.
“All of these schools’ achievements convey a clear message as to how a faith school can educate students within a religious framework and at the same time uphold the principles of British values and enthuse students with a passion to succeed and excel in their studies,” he said.
“As a community, we should be very proud of these achievements and continue to support our schools so that we can help ensure they continue to build on these successes and set the highest standards of excellence.”
