Chabad's Vista Training, a provider of vocational training for adults and older adolescents in North London, has attained the prestigious Investors in People award.

The organisation, run by Mrs Hindy Lew and housed in the brand new Lubavitch Children's Centre building, was established in 1993 to provide residents of Hackney and Haringey with vocational qualifications, preparing students to adapt to their workplace with ease.

GCSE league tables released this week revealed that Lubavitch Senior Girls School (LSGS) is the best performing school in the London Borough of Hackney and the only secondary school in the borough where 100% of pupils achieved 5 A*-C grade passes in their GCSEs.

Official figures showed that more than 30,000 London teenagers failed to achieve the minimum of five C-grades including English and Maths; with an estimated 19 state comprehensives failing to provide an acceptable standard of education.

Chabad Lubavitch received a thumbs up from Ofsted and Pikuach – the inspection authority for Jewish schools - after a hugely successful inspection of their schools’ facilities.

Following an inspection by Pikuach in early December, Pikuach gave a mixture of outstanding and good grades to the Lubavitch Girls Primary School and the Lubavitch Early Learning Years (Chabad nursery). The report stated that “The quality of Jewish education at Lubavitch Ruth Lunzer Girls Primary school is good overall and in the Early Years Foundation Stage, it is outstanding. The school provides a warm, welcoming and supportive environment that is enjoyed by all staff, pupils and parents.”
