Sacks Morasha deputy is new head at Mathilda Marks-Kennedy
Miriam Kaye will take up the position next year replacing current head Jillian Dunstan.
The deputy head of Sacks Morasha Jewish Primary School is to become the new Headteacher at Mathilda Marks-Kennedy (MMK) Jewish Primary.
Miriam Kaye will take up the position from the start of the next academic year in September in MMK’s 60th anniversary year, replacing current head Jillian Dunstan.
Established in Golders Green in 1959, it was known to many as Barclay House, before relocating to Mill Hill in 1989 and taking the name of philanthropist Mathilda Marks, the daughter of Marks & Spencer co-founder Michael Marks.
MMK said Kaye “comes to us with a wealth of experience, passion for education, and a firm belief in maintaining the nurturing and warm environment for which MMK is well known and loved in the local community”.
She school, which has 225 children from nursery to Year 6, last had an Ofsted inspection in 2010, when it was graded ‘Outstanding.’
