Between 1965 and 1979 the demand for places at Jewish day schools in England rose dramatically. Beginning in the mid-1960s, parents evinced increasing enthusiasm for Jewish day schools, both primary and secondary.

It is argued in this article that the major concern of Jewish parents was academic achievement.
