This morning our Year 1 children set off to Sutton to visit the local Synagogue to get a first hand experience of Judaism and what happens during the Sabbath.

Described as one of the most beautiful synagogues in LONDON, Sutton & District Synagogue is part of the United Synagogue and serves the Jewish community of south London, south-west London and Surrey.

With over 180 members, Sutton is a warm, friendly, caring and vibrant community led by an experienced minister whose services are much enjoyed.  Regular and varied activities take place in and around the centrally located Synagogue and cater for all age groups.  There are Cheder arrangements for children up to Barmitzvah / Batmitzvah age, adult education programmes, and social and cultural events to stimulate and inspire.
