Leeds Jewish Free School set out a decade ago to build and grow a vibrant Jewish secondary school in Leeds offering a first class education. Our Orthodox Jewish values and ethos, offer a caring, supportive environment which is reinforced by high standards of behaviour, allowing each and every child to develop a lifelong love of learning.
We believe in small class sizes and a balanced curriculum that will help develop a wide range of skill sets to ensure stability and flexibility of learning.
We have the very highest expectations of both staff and students.
We balance individuality with collaboration, helping all students to discover what they love and a direction that will help them flourish in life. Preparing students for every stage of their school life and beyond is paramount. We ensure that the curriculum is matched to student needs and that every student is set challenging targets – both for academic work and for personal development.
