The results are in and it looks like Jewish schools are continuing to do well in both their A-Level and GCSE results, according to performance tables released last week.

In a year where national figures fell, with more state schools than ever failing to meet their targets, Jewish secondary schools recorded good marks. This is despite the fact that this year's tables ignored many vocational qualifications, and also discounted International GCSEs from its scoreboards.

In A-Level rankings, the top performing Jewish secondary school in England was Yavneh College in Borehamwood, which came 84th on the national league table. The school had an average score per pupil of 255.6 - the equivalent of an A-minus.

"We're delighted with the results," said Yavneh's head, Spencer Lewis. "We're very proud; the kids and staff all worked very hard. All the Jewish schools have done extremely well, which the community can be proud of, and we were top of the pile."
