From the Etz Chaim Jewish Primary School
Hebrew for "Tree of Life," it represents new beginnings and the cultivation of moral, spiritual, and physical progress.
Etz Chaim Jewish Primary School is a one-form entry school that serves the local community in Mill Hill, North London. The school serves children between the ages of 3 and 11 (inclusive of the nursery and Year 6).
The school was thrilled to be one of the first new Free Schools that year when it initially opened its doors in September 2011.
109 boys and 101 girls are among the 210 students of mixed gender currently enrolled (including Nursery).
Along with children from ethnic minorities (10.9%) and those who use English as a second language (10.9%), the proportion of kids eligible for free school meals (0.95%) is below average.
We instruct students in all areas of the curriculum and help them build fundamental skills using a thematic topic-based approach.
In order to help all learners equitably, we provide great levels of care, advice, and support as well as a top-notch learning environment.
The school maintains a culture of high standards and offers pupils difficult chances where they can gain knowledge, skills, and self-assurance that they can use in all future learning experiences.
We want the students to become enthusiastic and committed to Judaism and British values.
All facets of school life and learning are infused with our Jewish ethos and values.
We believe that teaching children about Jewish ethics and morals will help all children, regardless matter whether they are Jewish or not.
The Honorary Principal of the School is Rabbi Yitzhak Shochet.
Being able to call Lord Levy (of Mill Hill) our patron is an honour.
Lord Levy frequently stops at the school.
