About Pardes House Primary School

Pardes House Primary School is a Jewish boys' state school in Barnet that parents clearly want to get into. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 59 applications for 51 places, making it oversubscribed with a ratio of 1.16 applicants per place. Of those, 52 were first-preference applications, and 50 first-preference offers were made — meaning almost every family who put it first got a spot, but latecomers would have found it tight. The school doesn't publish a parent-view survey percentage, so we can't quote a recommend rate, but the oversubscription figures alone suggest strong local demand. With 355 pupils on roll against a capacity of 360, Pardes House is running very close to full, which is another sign of its popularity. It's a faith school with a Jewish religious character, and its headteacher is Joel Sager. The school covers ages 4 to 11 and is a non-boarding, non-sixth-form primary with no nursery provision.
