Pupils converge on new state-of-the-art Rimon Primary
Rimon Jewish Primary School this week moved into their new state-of-the-art school building on Dunstan Road in Golders Green.
The move marked the completion of phase one of the building project, which houses Rimon’s two existing classes of Year One and Reception pupils. It’s hoped that the building – complete with an ICT library, a school garden and weather station – will be completed by the summer term next year.
Head teacher Dr Zoe Dunn said: “It is wonderfully rewarding to be able to welcome our excited pupils and impressed parents into our new school building. Parents and pupils alike love the bright and stimulating classrooms and the new playground areas.”
After putting up the mezuzah, rabbi Dr Harvey Belovski, Rimon’s Religious Principal, said: “I am delighted and proud to celebrate the opening of the first phase of Rimon’s beautiful new building. May it be a place of Jewish growth, Torah learning and academic excellence in a happy and warm environment, allowing our children and their wonderful staff to flourish.”
Meanwhile, Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis joined the ground breaking ceremony for Immanuel College’s new beit hamidrash – funded by the Atar and Zwillenberg families. He spoke to 500 pupils and parents about how people do not need to be famous to make a difference to the world, and was entertained by year two pupils singing a popular Chanukah song.

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
