Info
Yesodey Hatorah Senior Girls' School is a state-funded Jewish secondary school for girls, located in the Stamford Hill area of the London Borough of Hackney in England. The school primarily serves the Charedi Jewish community of Stamford Hill.The school has been rated "Inadequate" by Ofsted for the highly restrictive education it provided to its pupils.The Charedi community do not have access to television, the internet or other media, and members of the community aim to lead modest lives governed by the codes of Torah observance. In 2008 it emerged that nine pupils had refused to sit a Key Stage 3 Shakespeare test on The Merchant of Venice because they felt the character of Shylock was antisemitic. There have also been recurring controversies at the school due to failures to teach sex education, the theory of evolution, or various aspects of British history.
