The Synagogue's Primary School and related nursery school

The Kerem Schools aim to provide a broad, stimulating and intensive secular and Jewish education, linked to the needs of each child, within a caring,structured and purposeful environment.

The history of the schools begins in 1948 when Stanley Frankfurt established Kerem School for children from three years old up to the age of seven in the old Hampstead Garden Suburb Synagogue hall. The School subsequently acquired the site in Kingsley Way, Hampstead Garden Suburb, which is now the home of Kerem House Nursery School.

In 1956 the school was successfully extended to full primary education up to the age of eleven and was developed on the current Norrice Lea site by parents who wanted their children to be educated to a high standard in a traditional Jewish environment.

Kerem School is situated alongside the Hampstead Garden Synagogue and the bright, spacious classrooms underwent total refurbishment in 1994. It is proud of its excellent academic record and emphasis is placed on individual attention to each child so that the highest possible standard can be reached.

We have an exceptional team of professional teachers whose major priority is to help each pupil achieve his or her potential and find expression for individual talents.

Kerem House Nursery in Kingsley Way offers unique facilities for pre-school children. The light and airy building was extended and refurbished in 1991 to offer a larger number of children opportunities to enjoy their early years' education. In addition, it has a large outdoor play area which can be used all the year round. Kerem House Nursery seeks to lay firm foundations for future learning across all areas of experience.

We want our pupils to enjoy their time with us, recognising their strong personal link with Jewish learning, traditions and culture under the guidance of our Honorary Principal Rabbi. The Kerem Schools offer a stimulating atmosphere which we warmly invite you to come and see for yourself.
