Immanuel College is a private co-educational Jewish day school in Bushey, Hertfordshire, on the outskirts of North London. It is a member of the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference.
History
The Immanuel College Preparatory School opened in autumn 2011 with a Reception class.[2]
In December 2024, it was announced that the prep school would close at the end of the 2024/5 school year in response to increased financial pressures.[3][4]
Founding and aims
Immanuel College (formally named The Charles Kalms – Henry Ronson Immanuel College) was founded by Lord Jakobovits in 1990 to affirm Orthodox Jewish values and provide secular education.[5]
A report by The Sutton Trust placed Immanuel College in the top 2% of schools nationally in terms of its students' success in gaining admission to the 13 most competitive research universities.[6]
Grounds and facilities
The school is situated on the 11-acre grounds of Caldecote Towers, adjacent to a Dominican convent, and on the former site of the Rosary Priory Catholic girls' school.[7]
