About Yesodey Hatorah Senior Girls School
Yesodey Hatorah Senior Girls School is a popular choice among Hackney families, with 82 first-preference applications for 78 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.09. The school made offers to all 78 of its first-preference applicants, meaning that while it is technically oversubscribed overall, families who put it as their top choice had a strong chance of securing a place. Parent satisfaction signals are positive, though the school does not publish a formal parent view survey percentage. The school is a state-funded, all-girls secondary for ages 11 to 16, with a Jewish religious character, and is led by headteacher Sonia Mossberg. It currently has 384 pupils on roll, just under its capacity of 400, and a very low proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals at 2.1 percent.
