Attacks on Jews have risen globally since Hamas' assault on Israel, which triggered the Gaza war.
Britain reported a four per cent annual increase in cases of anti-Semitism in 2025 - the second-highest total on record - including a sharp spike after a deadly synagogue attack in northern England in October.
The Community Security Trust, which advises Jewish communities on security, recorded 204 school-related anti-Semitic incidents in 2025, twice pre-2023 levels.
"The figures are stark and clear," education minister Bridget Phillipson said in a statement on Wednesday.
She said "too many Jewish teachers who raised concerns felt that nothing was done. That is not acceptable."
The government said the aim of the review was to assess how well education settings identify, prevent and respond to anti-Semitic behaviour, and where further support was needed.
The review will examine schools' policies, how incidents are handled when they occur, what preventive measures are in place, and how external factors – including protests outside schools and wider geopolitical tensions - influence behaviour within education settings.
