PaJeS chief welcomes ‘outstanding’ results
Following strong GCSE results from Jewish schools across London, Rabbi David Meyer Executive Director of the Partnerships for Jewish Schools (PaJeS) congratulated students.
“The outstanding GCSE results are especially noteworthy given the changes in the curriculum, and reflects the high standards of education being delivered in Jewish schools across the country.
“Students across the ability range are performing exceptionally well and these results will reinforce the confidence parents are showing in their schools, and in the desire to send their children to Jewish schools.”
