Trainees graduated as newly qualified teachers on Friday.

The London School of Jewish Studies celebrated with their 27 trainees, who all achieved status and qualified teachers and will now start jobs in September.

Alex Kingston, deputy headteacher of Wolfson Hillel Primary School, Chase Road, Southgate, spoke to the graduates as a graduate from LSJS, along with the Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks, president of the school.

The graduates were on a mixture of courses such as the PGCE, a masters diploma, and the Schools Direct programme, which allows teachers to learn while on the job.

Jonathan Bach, Director of Teacher Training Programmes, congratulated the trainees on their success and for the progress each had made throughout the year’s programme.

Representatives from the different courses spoke to the audience of family, friends, and tutors, emphasising the support and guidance they had received from their tutors and mentors.
