beis yaakov high school for girls
Manchester
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.
