Jo Shuter must never return to King Solomon High School!

Oh dear Natacha'. You are a naughty girl and did not do your homework. Go to the back of the class!

If you had bothered to check before you moved to the area you would have found that both feeder schools to KS, IJPS and Clore Tikva, were reducing in their numbers of Jewish children. In fact when my son was Year 6 in Clore, IJPS only had one year 6 class of 14 children, almost half were not Jewish.

So you see, anyone could have told you that maintaining KS as a wholly orthodox Jewish school was unsustainable in the future, especially with JCoSS becoming a viable alternative choice.

The point is, we all want it to remain Jewish with the current ethos and celebrate the festivals which I see as still happening under the Kehila department, just as it did before. But you cannot teach children to believe. That is their right of choice.
