Broughton Jewish Cassel Fox Primary School traces its origins back to the Cassel Fox Infant School and the Broughton Jewish Primary School which were established in 1943 and 1947 respectively. Since the 1940s, the School has been at the forefront of Orthodox Jewish primary school education in Manchester and since its founding the School has stayed true to its emphasis on ‘Torah I’m Derech Eretz’. In 1984 the two schools merged and in 1997 the School moved into its current campus on Legh Road in Salford.
In August 2012 , the School was granted Academy status by the Secretary of State, the right honourable Michael Gove MP – an indication of the high academic, sustained standards that the School has maintained over the years.
In January 2013 , the School appointed a new Principal Rabbi Yehuda Pearlman. In February 2017, the School appointed a new Deputy Head for Teaching and Learning, Miss Nicola Taylor to work alongside Rabbi Pearlman.
