Appeal launched to cover covid shortfall

As a result, it is facing a projected £100,000 shortfall, plus the loss of around £50,000 income from extra-curricular clubs and on-site care.

After its good Ofsted grade this year, “staff are all motivated and eager to continue their progression towards outstanding,” said chair of governors Louise Dorling. “However, if budgetary constraints get in the way, this would have a devastating impact.”

Meanwhile, Beis Yaakov Primary School in Colindale, has also appealed to parents for help.

The state-aided Charedi girls’ school cut its voluntary contributions by 30 per cent during the covid crisis. But it has now asked those who can afford it to waive all or part of the discount.
