Together We Grow!

Founded in 1999, Nancy Reuben Primary School is a flourishing, high achieving ISA Independent Orthodox Jewish School for boys and girls aged 2-11. The school is well-known for its special warm and unique family and community ethos.  Our school serves a broad North West London catchment with pupils coming from areas including Hendon, Golders Green, Edgware, Borehamwood, Finchley and Hampstead Garden Suburb.  Our families are from both Ashkenazi and Sephardi backgrounds.   

Our pupils' excellent attainment and our very supportive and nurturing ethos, ensures that Year 6  pupils transition successfully onto secondary schools of choice where we know they thrive academically and socially.  

Our Summer 2022 cohort of Year 6 pupils are going to Hasmonean Multi Academy Trust School for Boys and Girls, JfS and Yavne College.  In addition, some pupils will be going to Habs Boys' and Immanuel College where a number of  pupils have been awarded Academic or Jewish Life and Learning Scholarships. 

The formal secular and Kodesh Curricula are broad, balanced and offer a rich mix of formal and informal learning opportunities throughout the year.  Our extra-curricular and enrichment programme offers a fabulous range of lunchtime  and after-school activities across the week for both Key Stage 1 and 2 pupils including fencing, sports, chess, drama, art and cookery.   Our Year 5 class won the National Jewish Primary School inter-school Etgar (Jewish General Knowledge) Competition in Summer 2020 and Summer 2021.   In 2020, a Year 5 pupil was a finalist in the annual ISA Poetry Competition.   In 2019, 2020 and 2021 we have had winners in the Ivrit Spelling Bee Jewish Primary Inter-school Competition.     There is also wrap-around care before and after school from 7.30am to 6pm. 

We launched a very successful first trip in Summer 2019 when our Year 6 class went to Rome where they explored the convergence of Jewish history with classical antiquity with visits to the Colosseum, the Piazzas, The Great Synagogue, the Ghetto and The Arch of Titus.  Covid prevented the trip in 2020 and 2021 but a trip went ahead again in Summer 2022.

Pupils' good mental health and well-being is a high priority at NRPS and our strong pastoral support ensures that all children flourish in a uniquely warm and nurturing environment.
