About Beis Yaakov High School

Beis Yaakov High School in Salford is a state-funded Jewish secondary school for girls aged 11 to 16, and it is clearly a school in demand. With 285 pupils on roll against a capacity of 275, the school is slightly oversubscribed, and the numbers back that up: for the 2025/26 admissions round, there were 70 applications for 41 places, with 69 of those applications coming as first preferences. That gives an oversubscription ratio of 1.71, meaning nearly two families want a place for every one available. The school’s intake is notably less disadvantaged than the national average, with just 2.8% of pupils eligible for free school meals, compared with the typical secondary school figure of around 23%. This is a school that serves a specific community, and the demand suggests it is meeting a clear need for families seeking a single-sex, faith-based secondary education in the area.
