Overview

An Orthodox Jewish, girls-only education runs from age 2 to 16 at Bnos Zion of Bobov in Hackney. The school opened in 2009 and has no boarding or sixth form, giving it an early-years-to-secondary span within one faith-based setting. Its identity and age range are clear; the shape of the curriculum and daily school life is not.

No subject list, examination route, facility or activity programme is specified. The profile should not imply a particular GCSE offer, enrichment programme or campus experience. Phase-specific information is essential because the registered age range covers very different stages of education.

The November 2024 standard inspection found that not all independent-school standards were met, while safeguarding was effective. Separate judgements covered education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. That regulatory position is a point of reference, not a full account of daily life.

An entrance assessment, faith criterion, fee, application timetable and selection process are not specified. The route for the intended year group, available places and required documents need confirming directly.

Key points

Assessment route: Applications are made directly to the school. Check the school's own admissions pages for registration dates, entrance assessment stages, interviews, fees, scholarships and bursaries.
Places and demand: Published Year 7 place numbers and applicant-per-place data are not included in GIAS for this private-school seed profile.
Catchment: Private-school eligibility is not controlled by the local-authority grammar catchment model; check boarding, day-pupil, transport and any sibling or faith rules on the school site.
