Dear Parents, As you are all no doubt aware, your voluntary contributions allow Hasmonean to maintain its ethos and breadth of provision, making your voluntary contributions a critical income stream for the school. I am therefore deeply concerned that despite our growing student body, contributions through to the end of November are nearly £200,000 down […]
The Boys’ Tzedaka Department, led by Eli Hollander ran a very successful Chanuka Fair on Rosh Chodesh Kislev. The hall was full of inflatables, table tennis tables, a range of fairground style games and lots of food! The money raised from the fair is going to JAMI and the school Wellbeing Fund.
Over the past 2 weeks, the Music Department hosted two GCSE Specialist concerts, highlighting the talents of our students. The boys’ concert took place on Tuesday 12th November and the concert began with an explosion of a performance combining drums and electric guitar. There was an impressive array of pianistic skills from Beethoven’s Pathetique sonata […]
A fascinating question emerges from the first few pesukim of this week’s sedra. We are told that when Esav is born, he emerged red: “וַיֵּצֵא הָרִאשׁוֹן אַדְמוֹנִי “. Yet, he is only called Edom (red) as a result of an incident 15 years later when he guzzles down the red lentils being cooked by his […]
Dear Parent, November is a time of remembering.

Not only were we able to express our love and appreciation for our country, […]
It may have taken four attempts to arrange the date, but on Monday 11th November our Year 11 boys finally had their away fixture against Immanuel College. The boys played well in the first half – even though we only took enough players to field a side and had no reserves. In no time at […]
On Thursday morning there was a buzz in the hall! Year 7 and Year 12 girls were getting to know each other at an incredible Kesher event. It began as the girls danced and ate snacks, followed by Rabbi Zeidman from Gift introducing a thought provoking question: ‘If you had £100, what would be better, […]

Although it was a difficult presentation to listen to at times, it was very reassuring to see so many parents take the message […]
