King David High School Liverpool

What King David High School Liverpool does

King David High School Liverpool is a mixed, voluntary-aided Jewish faith secondary school located at 120 Childwall Road, Liverpool, operating under the UK state education system. The school serves approximately 100+ teaching and support staff and is part of the broader King David Campus, which also encompasses King David Primary School, KDK Kindergarten, the Jewish Youth and Community Centre, and playing fields — collectively managed by the King David & Harold House Foundation, a registered UK charity (number 1146507). The school offers a comprehensive secondary education program spanning Years 7 through 13 (Key Stages 3, 4, and 5), delivering the National Curriculum alongside compulsory Jewish Studies, Modern Hebrew, and collective worship. Provision extends to a Sixth Form offering A-Levels and BTECs across approximately 15+ subjects, plus enrichment through Duke of Edinburgh (Bronze, Silver, Gold), peripatetic music lessons, and careers education following the Gatsby Benchmarks.

The technology stack consists of standard UK school administration systems rather than proprietary platforms: ParentPay for cashless catering and parental payments, EduLink One (MCAS) for parent communication, Microsoft Forms for admissions and supplementary information forms, UCAS for university applications, Google Translate for multilingual website access, and Google Analytics for web traffic analysis. A biometric cashless catering system manages meal purchases with dietary controls and automatic Free School Meals allocation. No API, developer tooling, or AI/ML capabilities are offered.

Revenue is not publicly disclosed but derives from four streams: core government funding from Liverpool City Council and the Department for Education as a voluntary aided maintained school; voluntary parental contributions to the King David & Harold House Foundation (expected ~£180,000 with a £230,000 commitment); kosher catering income via ParentPay (meal deals at £4); and kindergarten fee income (full day £70/week, plus session-based pricing). Admissions for Years 7–11 are processed through Liverpool City Council with a Certificate of Religious Practice form governing faith-based prioritization; Sixth Form uses a separate direct application process. Customer concentration is high, with the school serving primarily Jewish families in Liverpool supplemented by families of other faiths, plus Free School Meals-eligible pupils generating ~£1,050 in Pupil Premium funding per eligible student.
