From the Garden Suburb Junior School
At the southernmost point of the London Borough of Barnet, in the Hampstead Garden Suburb, is where the school is located. We are a coeducational community junior school with three forms of entry for kids between the ages of 7 and 11 years old. The institution's first opening year was 1913. In 1960, a portion of the building was reconstructed to repair damage during the 1939–1945 War. On the same property is an infant school, and the two institutions are closely connected. Our goal is to foster excellence and delight in teaching and learning within a supportive environment that recognises everyone's accomplishments.
