About Menorah Foundation School

Parents considering Menorah Foundation School will find a strong vote of confidence from current families. In the most recent Parent View survey, 97% of respondents said they would recommend the school, a figure drawn from 106 responses collected between September 2024 and September 2025. That enthusiasm is backed up by the school’s popularity at the admissions gate: for the 2025/26 intake, Menorah Foundation received 68 applications for just 30 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.27 to one. Of those, 31 families put it as their first preference, and 29 of them were offered a spot. The school is a state-funded, mixed-gender Jewish primary in the London borough of Barnet, with a nursery provision and a capacity of 400 pupils. It currently has 320 on roll, and just 3.1% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well below the national average.
