Kerem Schools

Welcome to the Kerem Schools' Website

 

Thank you for showing an interest in Kerem School. Our pupils enjoy many benefits including;

• A small, friendly and local school in the heart of the community where everyone knows each other and where every child receives care and attention as a valued individual.

• A governing body and staff committed to achieving standards of excellence in both secular and Jewish Studies.

We aim to develop in each child an understanding of, and positive commitment to, orthodox Judaism; a sense of identity with Israel and the Jewish people; and an empathy with the culture and heritage of the United Kingdom. We offer a structured framework that will enable our pupils to achieve their potential in their educational, moral, physical and social development. In addition to providing a broad and balanced curriculum, we seek to develop in all our pupils, critical thought, independent learning, social responsibility and self-discipline. We value a close and effective partnership between governors, parents and staff so that we can create an outstanding school of which we and the wider community can be proud. We hope that the information on our website will give you some insight into the daily life of Kerem. An Open Morning is held each year and prospective parents may arrange to view the school at other times by appointment.

Kerem Schools' Aim: To provide a broad, stimulating and intensive secular and Jewish education, linked to the needs of each child, within a caring, structured and purposeful environment.

Kerem House Nursery seeks to lay firm foundations for future learning across all areas of experience, and has an integrated approach to the Jewish and secular areas of the curriculum. As acknowledged by  Ofsted, we offer the highest standards of care and education for 2½-5 year olds. If you wish to know more about the Nursery you are welcome to visit us by appointment.

Kerem School is proud of its excellent academic record. Emphasis is placed on individual attention being given to each child so that the highest possible standard can be reached. Kerem School offers a broad and intensive curriculum and selects pupils from the feeder nursery, Kerem House. Our Open Morning in October will enable you to see the School at work and, if you have made an application for your child for the coming academic year, you will automatically be invited. Visits to the School at other times are arranged by telephoning the school secretary. Interviews are held in November and places are offered in December for the following September.

We want our pupils to enjoy their time with us, recognising their strong personal link with Jewish Learning, traditions and culture under the guidance of our Honorary Principal Rabbi.

We have an exceptional team of professional teachers, whose major priority is to help every pupil achieve his or her potential and find expression for individual talents.

Kerem is unique. For over 50 years we have provided academic excellence in both Jewish and Secular subjects and we look forward to meeting with you to discuss your child’s education.
