Welcome to Kerem School

I’d like to extend a warm welcome to all visitors to our school website. I hope it gives you valuable insight into our ethos, values, curriculum, and provision.

This is my sixth year as Head Teacher, and it remains an honour to lead this wonderful school. Kerem School is a Modern Orthodox school with a strong connection to Israel and its people. We are proud of our tradition of academic excellence, a broad range of extracurricular activities, and outstanding pastoral care. Every child is valued as an individual, and we work in partnership with parents and families to ensure their well-being and success.

Our school operates across two sites: Nursery and Reception classes are housed in a building with an exciting outdoor area, while the rest of the school is located on a separate site.

At Kerem, we hold the highest expectations for all our children, both academically—our pupils consistently achieve well above national expectations—and socially. We foster caring attitudes, mutual respect, self-confidence, and leadership skills, helping children to grow into creative, independent thinkers. Our Kerem Characteristics—collaboration, curiosity, flexibility of mind, humour, initiative, middot, persistence, reflectiveness, resilience, and risk-taking—are at the heart of everything we do.

Learning at Kerem is highly personalised, driven by our dedicated staff who ensure every child’s needs are met and their aspirations encouraged. We create a calm, focused, and respectful environment, where purposeful learning thrives.

Our enriched curriculum, which includes Forest School lessons, prepares pupils for life as responsible Jewish citizens by promoting British values and fostering a global outlook. We make learning engaging and fun, providing opportunities for children to exceed their potential.

We would be delighted for you to visit and experience the vibrancy of our school community. To arrange a visit, please contact Karen in the office at 020 8455 0909, and she will be happy to assist.
