Yavneh College is a Jewish secondary school and sixth form for boys and girls aged 11–18 yrs. It is a comprehensive school with five form entry and part of the Yavneh College Academy Trust.

History

When founded, the school was led by headteacher Dr. Dena Coleman, who died of meningitis in June 2013 just a few weeks before her planned retirement.[1] In September 2013, Mr Spencer Lewis took over the role of headteacher, having previously had the same role at Kantor King Solomon High School.[2] The school previously had specialist school status as a Business and Enterprise College (before converting to an academy).[3]
