Manchester Mesivta School
Voluntary aided school in Greater Manchester, England
Manchester Mesivta School is a Jewish secondary school for boys located in Prestwich in the English county of Greater Manchester.[3]
It is a voluntary aided school administered by Bury Metropolitan Borough Council,[4] but admits Orthodox Jewish boys aged 11 to 16 from all over Greater Manchester. Previously a private school, Manchester Mesivta School became voluntary-aided in 2004 and relocated to new buildings in 2005.[5]
Manchester Mesivta School operates principally as a mesivta for pupils who wish to proceed eventually to a yeshiva, and therefore aims for pupils to achieve a high degree of proficiency in Torah studies. The school offers a Yeshiva-orientated Torah syllabus along with the National Curriculum. Secular studies lead to GCSE courses and examinations. There is also an independent sixth form provision attached to the school site.
