About

A project is currently underway to encourage our whole school community to contribute towards defining what this means for our school. The aim of MFS is to provide the highlight standard of education both in Secular and Jewish Studies for all children.

In addition, we aim for our pupils to realise from an early age that our sacred religions, ethical and moral principles apply to whatever topic is being studied in every walk of life so that they are fully prepared for their future lives as Orthodox Jews within a secular integrated society.

The principal aim of the school is to produce well rounded individuals who possess both the deep moral feelings that lie at the root of our Jewish religion and the intellectual curiosity which lays the foundation for future learning. We attempt to achieve all of this in a happy, safe and caring environment.

Menorah Foundation School is an Orthodox Jewish school built upon the Jewish faith and principles which have an impact on everything we do. We are a welcoming, co-educational school, imbuing our pupils with a love of Torah and Eretz Yisroel, and promoting British values.

In the school’s own words, from the school website.
