About King David High School
Introduction and Background Information
King David High School
A Voluntary Aided Jewish faith based school supported by the King David & Harold House Foundation.
Our vision is:
“Excellence in lifelong education for the Jewish and wider community by collaboration with other schools and the whole community”
King David High School was founded in 1840 and moved to its present site in 1957. Since then it has served the City of Liverpool as a faith based school of Jewish foundation accepting pupils of other faiths and with a provision for pupils who have shown potential and aptitude for music.
Our aims are:
- To provide a stimulating and enriching Jewish and secular education for all Jewish children in Liverpool
- To provide an education of quality and relevance to non-Jewish pupils
- To demonstrate the finest standards of multi faith and multicultural education by cultivating the distinctive qualities of the cultures within the school rather than by blurring their distinctions
- To provide a broad and balanced curriculum to enable our pupils to achieve their full potential
The High School is situated on a large Jewish Campus. King David High School, King David Primary School, Harold House Youth and Community Centre with playing fields are all situated on one campus on Childwall Road, a major route into the city of Liverpool. Our links with the Jewish community and wider community are strong. The challenges ahead are to focus on developing the learning and teaching agenda, use of enhanced ICT Facilities due to the move to better facilities with greater opportunities to transform learning and teaching and ensuring achievement and standards remain high for all pupils in our outstanding school
King David High School has a key role to play in the education of young people in Liverpool. It is a high achieving school. We have a comprehensive intake but most of our pupils are above average attainment when they arrive in Year 7. Two thirds of our pupils come from King David Primary School.
We underwent an OFSTED inspection June 2010. We were judged as Outstanding. A Maths inspection in November 11 also judged the school to be outstanding in this area.
