Etz Chaim Jewish Primary School

Welcome to Etz Chaim Jewish Primary School

Etz Chaim Jewish Primary School is a warm, welcoming one-form entry school, offering education for children from Reception through to Year 6. Under the auspices of the Office of the Chief Rabbi, we are proud to embrace the values and practices of Modern Orthodox Judaism, creating a strong sense of identity, tradition, and community. Since opening our doors we have grown into a school known not only for its high standards and academic excellence, but also for being a place where children love to learn and families feel truly valued.

Our pupils come to school each day excited, curious, and ready to embrace new challenges. Parents regularly speak of the nurturing, supportive atmosphere and the close-knit community that makes Etz Chaim feel like a second home.

We are deeply committed to educational excellence and to delivering an ambitious, high-quality curriculum. With a culture of high expectations for all, we ensure that every child is challenged, inspired, and given the individual support they need to thrive. Our curriculum is carefully designed to be aspirational and engaging, with rich experiences that spark curiosity and deepen understanding.

Etz Chaim is also a school with a strong sense of community at its heart. We are deeply committed to building meaningful connections between pupils, families, staff and the wider community. Our community-focused ethos encourages shared responsibility, mutual respect and active involvement from all. This collaborative spirit helps create a warm, inclusive environment where every child feels a sense of belonging and where Jewish values are lived and celebrated every day.

Through this approach, our children grow into confident, capable learners equipped with the knowledge, skills, and values to succeed in all areas of life. Alongside strong academic foundations, we provide exceptional care, guidance, and a vibrant learning environment where every child feels safe, supported, and empowered to reach their full potential.
