History
The school was set up in 1954 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 a voluntary-aided school in its own right.
Around one in six pupils is eligible for free school meals.
The school acts as a feeder school to the associated Pardes House Grammar School, which most of the Year 6 leavers attend.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The history of the world is none other than the progress of the consciousness of freedom.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“The history of any nation follows an undulatory course. In the trough of the wave we find more or less complete anarchy; but the crest is not more or less complete Utopia, but only, at best, a tolerably humane, partially free and fairly just society that invariably carries within itself the seeds of its own decadence.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“The history of persecution is a history of endeavors to cheat nature, to make water run up hill, to twist a rope of sand.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
