Alma Primary

Alma Primary is a mixed free school located in Whetstone, Barnet, London, with a current enrolment of 185 pupils and a capacity of 210. Founded in 2013 by a group of parents and educators, the school has steadily expanded its intake each year, culminating in the introduction of its first Year 6 class in September 2019. The school operates from a permanent site established in 2016, following a transition from a temporary location in West Finchley.

The school’s ethos is centred around fostering imaginative, caring, and engaged learners. Alma Primary integrates the rich heritage of Judaism with contemporary educational practices, aiming to equip students for a dynamic world. The curriculum is designed to support holistic development, encouraging creativity and critical thinking.

Alma Primary actively involves parents and the local community in its development, with a governing body formed from both project team members and external recruits. The school prioritises a supportive environment where children can thrive academically and socially, reflecting its commitment to community engagement and educational excellence.
