Nancy Reuben Primary School (URN 152214, voluntary aided school opened 15 September 2025[1]; earlier URN 133533, the predecessor independent school, closed 15 September 2025[2])

The school is run by Nancy Reuben Primary School (company) (Company number 06000294) and Nancy Reuben Primary School (charity) (Charity number: 1117515) |

Partnerships for Jewish Schools supported the school's move from the independent sector to state funding as a voluntary aided school in September 2025.[3]

Mrs Rubin the head teacher posts in March 2022 about students at the school participating in a Zionist regime propaganda operation encouraging land theft and settler colonialism: 'This afternoon Y5 had a unique opportunity to be in Jerusalem while sitting in our classroom in London: Chemed and the Israel Ministry of Education with the Jewish Agency invited us for an exciting virtual tour in the Kotel tunnels. Children from Israel and al around the world were invited to join the "Aliyah to Jerusalem" tour.'

History

In July 2006 the Jewish Chronicle reported that Od Yosef Hai Primary in Hendon, which "shares premises with Od Yosef Hai Synagogue", was to be renamed the Nancy Reuben School in memory of the mother of David Reuben and Simon Reuben. It said that the complex "is in the midst of a £1.5 million redevelopment project" and that "the school and the Reuben Brothers declined comment on the matter."[4]

Advertisements in the paper in October and November 2006 invited parents to an open morning at "the Nancy Reuben Primary School (formerly known as OYH Primary School)" on Wednesday 8 November 2006 at 9.30am, with application forms available from 48 Finchley Lane, NW4 1DJ.[5]
