Mr John Dalziel, Executive Headmaster
King David High School is a wonderful place. The children here are happy, enthusiastic about their education, and they enjoy their time at school. Our teachers are well qualified, well-motivated, and they know their students well, creating the right environment for learning. Academic standards are high, opening the door to Oxbridge and Russell Group universities for those who aspire to this. The school takes a holistic approach towards education with personal development as important as academic progress, regardless of background or ability. A wide range of extracurricular opportunities give all our children opportunities to socialise and enjoy success outside the classroom as well as in their academic lessons. Excellent facilities provide a first-class environment for our children to work and play, it really is a lovely place to spend a working day for both children and adults. There’s a genuine sense of care and concern for every member of the school family.
We aim to prepare our students to make a positive contribution to the society they live in both at school and beyond. In a supportive, respectful and orderly environment we strive to help each and every child realise their potential whatever this may be. Our responsibility is to prepare our children not just for their exams but for their futures.
The school has a unique character serving the Jewish community of Manchester and further afield. Everything we do at the school is underpinned by the Jewish heritage of our children, and the values of the Jewish faith. Offering the choice of both ‘main school’ and ‘Yavneh’ routes to provide a range of options to suit the desires of the individual families we serve.
We have the highest possible expectations of every child who passes through our doors, we’ll aim to find out where your child’s talents lie and nurture these to the best of our ability. Your child will leave King David High School as a confident, empathetic, and well-rounded young adult ready for the next stage of their education, or to begin their working life.
This is a school for the children, and I believe we offer what every parent wants for their child. Every day we see happy children safe in a nurturing and caring environment, it really is like an extension of your family. But please don’t just take my word for it, if you’d like to find out more about the school then we’d love to meet you. To arrange a personal tour please contact admin@kdhigh.co.uk, come and see our outstanding facilities, meet some of our lovely children, and decide for yourself.

The King David High School is founded on traditional Jewish values with a belief in respect, courtesy, self-discipline, diligence and the pursuit of excellence.
Our mission is to encourage each and every child to reach the highest levels of academic achievement, creativity and personal development. Equally, our aim is to create a generation who will be knowledgeable, committed to their faith and values and who will become outstanding citizens within the Jewish and wider community. The King David High School has an enviable reputation. Over the years, the school has undergone a massive transformation and has now become the school of choice for many of the brightest and the best in the Greater Manchester region and beyond. Its achievements place it among the top schools in the country. Indeed, the results of Yavneh and Solomon rank them alongside the very best schools in the independent sector. Its ethos is aptly summarized in the school's mission statement: "...Excellence... the pursuit of excellence in every area of the curriculum is our primary aim, so as to ensure that each and every child achieves their maximum potential and beyond, combined with a warm and caring environment and with the teaching and practice of Judaism and its values..." Alongside the ethos of excellence, academic achievement and personal development, great emphasis is placed on achieving the kind of atmosphere where learning becomes a pleasure and the school an experience to enjoy. The creation of a warm and caring environment is a founding principle of the school. The school goes to great lengths in its care for pupils. "...this is a happy school with a sense of purpose, a positive ethos, moral code and conduct... pupils are courteous, friendly, well motivated and enthusiastic.. relationships are excellent..." (Ofsted) Not every child has the same natural academic ability, but every child has great potential. The school's role is to inspire and ignite the flame of interest and ambition and to cultivate talent in order that each child can realize their full potential. Joshua Rowe, Chair of Governors |

Welcome to our school.
This is a school of excellence and warmth. Apart from imbuing our pupils with the values of our faith, our priorities are the well-being of our pupils and their academic success. An atmosphere of happiness permeates the school and the school’s academic results are outstanding at every level and it is this combination which marks the uniqueness of the school. Additionally, the School offers a vast range of extra-curricular activities which enable pupils to expand their range of interests. The school encourages pupils to engage in charitable and benevolent activities. Graduates attend Yeshivot, seminaries and Gap Year programmes in Israel and virtually all are offered places at the very best Universities. We are proud of the fact that so many of our alumni attain excellent degrees and are rewarded with prominent positions. We hope you come and join us and share the great experience - the joy of learning and the joy of achievement. Mr.B.Levy, Headteacher |
