A comprehensive in Cricklewood, north-west London, is aiming to offer a Jewish studies programme from next September to cater for students unable to gain a place at a Jewish secondary school.
Partnerships for Jewish Schools (Pajes), the Jewish Leadership Council's education agency, is recommending that parents put down Whitefield School as a choice for the 2017 year before applications close at the end of the month.
The school, which is rated good by Ofsted, is ready to provide a special Jewish studies programme under the auspices of the United Synagogue. Pajes is also exploring the possibility of having kosher food.
Rabbi David Meyer, Pajes chief executive, said: "This is an important development that will help ensure that there is a provision available for all the children in our community."
