The school is unique for its multicultural intake and atmosphere.

In the late 1950s, the declining local Jewish population led the school to accept non-Jewish students, most of whom were Muslim due to the changing demographics.

As a result, in 2007 about half of the school's 247 students were reportedly Muslim, with less than 40% Jewish.

[citation needed] An article in The Independent praised the school's ethos and its efforts in promoting inter-faith harmony from such a young age.
