About Etz Chaim Jewish Primary School

Etz Chaim Jewish Primary School is a small, state-funded primary in Barnet with a distinctly local feel. It currently has 176 pupils on roll against a capacity of 196, so there is some headroom, but demand is strong: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 67 applications for just 19 places, with all 19 first-preference offers taken up. That works out at roughly 3.5 applicants per place, a clear signal of popularity among local families. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is just 1.7%, well below the national average and a reflection of the school’s particular demographic. As a Jewish faith school, it draws families who value that religious character, and the headteacher, Hannah Martin, leads a mixed-gender primary that covers ages 3 to 11. The school does not have a nursery provision, so entry begins in Reception.
