Supporters of a new Jewish secondary school in north-west London have launched a series of meetings for prospective parents in a bid to win wider backing for the plan.

The Modern Orthodox Secondary School (MOSS) is one of two proposals for a new secondary that have come forward in recent weeks - the other being Kedem High School, sponsored by a trust linked to the chairman of Rosh Pinah Primary in Edgware.

MOSS steering group member, Rachel Stafler, mother of three boys at a Jewish primary, said that the "purpose is to present the vision and get feedback to see what people want".

Backers envisage a school, open to all denominations, with an emphasis on Jewish textual skills and Ivrit. Girls, for example, would have the same opportunity to study Talmud as boys.
