Rimon good for charity

RIMON PRIMARY in Golders Green is “well on the way” to its aim of educating children to the highest standards of Jewish studies, Pikuach says.

The free school, which is part of the United Synagogue-run Jewish Community Academy Trust, was rated good overall and outstanding in two areas — leadership and the spiritual, moral, social and cultural development.

Pupils were challenged to think for themselves and did well because they had “the confidence to have a go without worrying about making a mistake”.

But some parts of the curriculum were still being trialled and it fell short of outstanding because a small number of pupils found it difficult to access some areas.

Pikuach was particularly impressed with the daily collection of tzedakah in the playground. One pupil said, “The best part… is seeing the smiles on people’s faces when they give.”
