An independent strictly Orthodox grammar school in London closed its secular studies department this week because it could not pay teachers.
Parents of boys at Pardes House Grammar School in Finchley were told yesterday that lessons in secular subjects were being cancelled from lunchtime “with immediate effect” until staff salaries were paid.
But deputy head David Vincent told the JC today that as a result of the action a number of parents had paid outstanding fees and lessons would resume after Shavuot next week.
Mr Vincent said: “It’s a problem for any independent school if parents don’t pay their fees on time”.
