About Yesoiday Hatorah Boys Academy

Yesoiday Hatorah Boys Academy, a state-funded Jewish primary school in Bury, stands out clearly against the local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes. In the 2023/24 academic year, 72% of its pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a Bury LA average of 64%. That eight-point gap places the school comfortably above the typical local primary, and its ranking of 12th out of 64 schools in the borough puts it in the top 20% of its peers. The school also performs well at the higher end: 15% of pupils achieved the higher standard in all three subjects, while 43% hit that mark in reading and 35% in maths. These are solid, above-average results for a school that, until relatively recently, was in a different place entirely.
