Overview

Religious study gives Lubavitch Yeshiva Ketanah of London its defining shape: an Orthodox Jewish boys' setting for ages 11-16, with Years 7 and 8 now part of the intake alongside Years 9 to 11. It is a non-boarding provision with 55 pupils, centred on the life of the yeshiva rather than a conventional broad secondary curriculum.

Secular study is limited. English and mathematics are taught in Years 7 to 9, while Years 10 and 11 have no secular education or opportunity to take national tests or examinations. Work towards broader provision in science, technology, humanities, physical and creative subjects is underway, but those subjects should not be treated as established options.

Recent pupil experiences include a Year 7 cycling tour in London, an annual hiking visit to Wales and community projects around religious festivals. Careers education, personal development and extra-curricular activity are limited, so the balance between religious study and secular opportunity is a central feature of the setting.

A direct online contact page is not listed, and the admissions-policy field is not applicable. In March 2026, safeguarding, welfare, staff suitability, premises and complaints standards were met, while urgent improvement was required in achievement, curriculum, inclusion, leadership and personal development.

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.
Results
Independent-school performance data is patchier in official releases, so GCSE and A-level comparisons should be checked against the school's published results.
