About

King David High School attracts almost all of the potential Jewish pupils in the area. Most pupils in King David are of other faiths, however our Jewish values underpin all aspects of school life and we are committed to ensuring that our Jewish ethos is maintained and indeed strengthened.

This is achieved most notably through the King David Way a set of values we feel epitomise life at King David, centred on Chesed, Kehila and a commitment to learning central pillars of Judaism and expressed through our school motto: Let there be light though faith and work.

Important days in the Jewish year are marked across the Campus by all students and there are many visitors to the School who are involved with the Jewish world, such as Professor Robert Winston. The School charities, Jewish and non-Jewish, are a reflection of the dual nature of King David High - a unique school - a Jewish school - with a multicultural and diverse student body.
