Sacks Morasha deputy is new head at Mathilda Marks-Kennedy
Miriam Kaye will take up the position next year replacing current head Jillian Dunstan.
The deputy head of Sacks Morasha Jewish Primary School is to become the new Headteacher at Mathilda Marks-Kennedy (MMK) Jewish Primary.
Miriam Kaye will take up the position from the start of the next academic year in September in MMK’s 60th anniversary year, replacing current head Jillian Dunstan.
Established in Golders Green in 1959, it was known to many as Barclay House, before relocating to Mill Hill in 1989 and taking the name of philanthropist Mathilda Marks, the daughter of Marks & Spencer co-founder Michael Marks.
MMK said Kaye “comes to us with a wealth of experience, passion for education, and a firm belief in maintaining the nurturing and warm environment for which MMK is well known and loved in the local community”.
She school, which has 225 children from nursery to Year 6, last had an Ofsted inspection in 2010, when it was graded ‘Outstanding.’

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
