Biographical history

The Stepney Jewish Primary School was founded in 1863 by the Adler family (Nathan Adler and his son Hermann Adler both held the post of Chief Rabbi). At this time the Jewish population was growing very quickly, particularly in the East End of London. In the twentieth century many Jews moved out to the surburbs in the north-west and east. Ilford became a major Jewish centre and the Stepney School moved to the area in the late 1960s, changing its name at the same time.
