[edit] History
The school was set up in about 1950 to serve the needs of the growing chareidi community of Golders Green. Originally it occupied premises on Finchley Road, moving later to East End Road, Finchley. In 1990 it moved to its present location in Church End, Finchley. Between 1997 and 2000 it was the boys' site of the combined Pardes House & Beis Yaakov Primary School. Since 2000 it has been voluntary-aided school in its own right.

The school is associated with the Union of Orthodox Hebrew Congregations (UOHC). Its principal is Rabbi Elchonon Halpern, hon. president of the UOHC, and its rabbinical Adviser is Rabbi Dovid Halpern.
On leaving the school at age 11, most pupils continue at Pardes House Grammar School.
