The Governing Body consists of volunteers from parents, staff and the Jewish community who support the school and act as a “critical friend”. Our job is to set the strategic direction of the school, recruit the Headteacher and continually provide feedback and input to support all aspects of school life. We are legally responsible for the school.
Wolfson Hillel is a voluntary aided school which means the Governing Body is responsible for the admissions arrangements. Voluntary aid schools have a foundation (charity) which appoints a significant number of the governors. In our case, the foundation body is the United Synagogue.
Wolfson Hillel is an exceptional school which puts its children at the very heart of everything it does.
Our recent Ofsted inspection rated the school Exceptional, the highest judgement, in two areas, Personal Development and Leadership and Governance, putting us in the top 0.5% of those inspected. We are so very proud to have the hard work, skills and commitment of the staff and students recognised in this way.
The school engenders a culture of respect and kindness and offers the opportunity for students to develop, flourish and thrive. We are fortunate to have wonderful children who want to learn, staff who are committed to helping them do so, and parents who support the school. Students at Wolfson Hillel have access to a high-quality curriculum which also includes exceptional enrichment opportunities that help them to grow into thoughtful, considerate young people. As a modern orthodox school, we are committed to our engaging and enriching Jewish education that instils a love of Jewish traditions that are the cornerstone of our Hillel ethos and values.
I am hugely privileged to be a part of the Governing Body that works with and supports this wonderful school. Our purpose is clear: to support the school to maintain its existing high standards of excellence and to strive for constant progress and development in everything we do, so that the children at Wolfson Hillel continue to benefit from ever improving provision.
Thank you for looking at our website and we look forward to welcoming you as members of our Wolfson Hillel Family.
