Hasmonean High School

A Multi Academy Trust, comprising Hasmonean High School for Boys and Hasmonean High School for Girls, for pupils aged 11 to 18 from Orthodox Jewish families, situated in the London Borough of Barnet. The school was established by the late Rabbi Dr. Solomon Schonfeld in 1944 as Hasmonean Grammar School. Rabbi Dr. Schonfeld (1912-1984) rescued thousands of Jews from the Holocaust and pioneered Jewish day school education in England. Hasmonean was built with a great purpose: to nurture students to become committed to, and ready to live, a life of Torah im Derech Eretz (to be successful in the wider world without compromising the attitudes and values enshrined in the Torah). This ethos remains at the heart of Hasmonean today and enables our students to become successful, responsible contributors to modern day Britain.
