The headteacher of the Independent Jewish Day School, Jodi Schajer, is leaving at the end of term after nearly five years in charge of the Hendon primary.

Governors shared the news “with regret” that she would be going, saying that she had been “instrumental in our school improvement journey, playing a key role in ensuring our children are happy and safe and sowing the seeds for the continuing development that is needed.”

Her achievements included “building a much-needed library and reading programme”. 

She would continue “working with schools as a consultant for school improvement and leadership coach”, they said.
