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.
