King David School, Birmingham
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The King David School, of Birmingham, England was founded in 1865 as an elementary Jewish day school. Students learn Hebrew, eat kosher food, recite Jewish prayers, and celebrate Israeli holidays.[1]
In the late 1950s, however, the declining local Jewish population led the school to accept non-Jewish students, most of whem were Muslim due to the changing demographics. As a result, in 2007 more than half of the school's 247 students were reportedly Muslim. [1][2]
