Beis Yaakov High School For Girls

BYJHS has a unique sense of family and belonging and Orthodox Jewish values permeate every aspect of school life and are consistent across all families, pupils and governors of the school. The school promotes a learning culture with known and shared aims that are deeply embedded in all school policies and practice. A variety of themed activities through the year develop pupils’ social and academic skills and provide a forum for exploring Fundamental British Values in the context of their Jewish Faith. Pupils of BYJHS embrace the school’s religious ethos and live their lives accordingly. Every aspect of school life is governed by the codes of Torah observance, which includes adherence to a modest way of life and strong morals and ethical values. Acts of collective worship take place twice a day for the morning and afternoon services, with the morning service taking the form of a whole-school assembly led by Year 11 pupils.
