The Department for Education records the school as an independent school for boys aged 2 to 13. It opened on 28 October 1957 and has 317 pupils on roll against a capacity of 385. It lists Mr Moshe Rubinstein as headteacher and Joshua Waldman as proprietor.[1]
Inspections
Ofsted judged the school good in 2012 and inadequate in July 2016. It was judged to require improvement in 2018, 2020, 2022 and November 2024.[2][3][4][5][6][7] At a progress monitoring inspection in July 2025, Ofsted found that "the school has taken no action in relation to this standard" on promoting respect for the protected characteristics.[8] Another progress monitoring inspection, in January 2026, found that the school still did not meet all the standards checked. The report named Mr Colev Frickers and Mr Moshe Rubenstien as headteachers.[9]
