Menorah Foundation School is an orthodox Jewish school with an embedded ethos of Torah I'm Derech Eretz, where children can foster a passion for learning intertwining both British and Jewish values. The children are at the heart of every decision we make ensuring they are happy, confident, and provided with opportunities that are relevant to their needs both now and in the future.
The quality and depth of our Religious and Secular education are of the highest standard due to our dedicated and hard-working team. This ensures that when all of our pupils progress onto their chosen secondary school they are ably equipped to progress and achieve to the best of their abilities. We firmly believe that education is a partnership between home and school and regard you as an active partner in your child's education and value your interest and support.
At Menorah Foundation School our children are at the heart of everything we do. Recognizing each child’s unique contribution and building on their self-esteem, we will learn, grow and succeed together in a community rich in the values of Torah and Mitzvos, where every child is not only encouraged but inspired to reach their potential. We recognize every child’s worth and provide opportunities for them to discover and develop their unique talents and abilities. By achieving together as a whole school community we encourage everyone to become life-long learners and ‘reach for their star’.
All children are encouraged to develop their interests and skills and to be open to learning new things. They are actively encouraged to make choices at our school, knowing that they are in a safe and supportive environment. As a school, we provide boundaries for our children to make these choices safely, through the provision of a secure environment and a well-planned curriculum including extra-curricular clubs. Children are encouraged to know, understand and exercise their rights and personal freedoms and are advised how to exercise these safely.
We learn that it is acceptable to have our own beliefs and to uphold them, but that it is also important to understand that other people have their own beliefs which must be respected. We have weekly assemblies incorporating the values and ethos of our school, Our House Team initiatives encourage the values of sportsmanship, teamwork, and fair play through a variety of learning opportunities
Our class rules help us to be good learners and ensure others can learn. We learn about the responsibilities we have as citizens, both of our school and our country, as well as the consequences when rules and laws are broken.
All children in our school are accepted for who they are and this is evident in the strong family atmosphere of our school, Bullying or abusive language is not tolerated. We use opportunities such as the Olympics and the World Cup to study and learn about life and culture in other countries. We raise money for a range of different charities both nationally and internationally. All children are encouraged to develop an understanding of our Jewish ethos and to understand that key elements, such as the need to care for others, to help those in need, to behave well, to seek the good of all, and promote the common good, are found in other world religions.
