General information

Headteacher: Rabbi A M Goldlatt.

Background: Menorah Grammar School is an independent day school for boys in the Burnt Oak area of the London Borough of Barnet. It was established in 1978 in order to provide education for boys from the strictly observant Jewish community of north London.At the heart of the school is the Beis Hamedrash (house of study) which can accommodate the whole school, and which is used for study, prayer, and assemblies. It has an adequate number of classrooms for specialist subject teaching, three well-equipped laboratories for the teaching of physics, chemistry and biology respectively, a computer room, a small, but well-furnished base for pupils with SEN in the Darchei Noam Centre, and a purpose-built refectory in which meals are served. The school has a small gymnasium and makes good use of outdoor facilities for PE, including two playgrounds in the school grounds and an adjacent public park. Swimming has recently been introduced into the timetable and pupils attend a local public swimming pool for these sessions. Toilet and washroom facilities are suitable for pupils and staff, and there is a small room designated for use by pupils who are ill and which meets the requirements of the current regulations. The sixth form has a comfortable common room and a room for use during supervised private study periods has recently been furnished and brought into use.

Inspection: November 2004: 'Menorah Grammar School was established with the aim of providing `a high quality education within a caring and secure Torah environment'. The school has been very successful in meeting that principal aim and successfully weds together religious and secular education. It prepares its pupils very well for the next stages of their education. The school is served by well qualified and dedicated staff and the quality of teaching is generally very good in both strands of the curriculum. The ethos of the school encourages pupils of all levels of ability to set their sights high, and this reflects the tone set by the senior management. Pupils are well motivated, work hard, make good progress and achieve high standards. They are helped to develop a knowledge and understanding of their Jewish heritage and of their responsibilities as members of the wider British society.'

Boys' age range: 11 to 18.
