Noam was established in 1999 as an independent school with five pupils, and it has since grown so that it now has approximately 156 pupils across all years from Nursery to Year 6. Noam was established to meet a demand for additional school provision which follows the national curriculum but that is tailored to the needs of the Orthodox Jewish community in north-west London. The school is located in the grounds of Wembley Synagogue, with pupils attending the school mainly living in Edgware, Hendon and Golders Green.
