The building was constructed in 1860 as an Anglican School and named Christ's College. The designs were by the architect Edward Roberts; its main feature being a 120-foot tower. The school flourished as a private school during the 1860s and 1870s. In 1902, the school was taken over by Middlesex County Council, as the first Middlesex County grammar school. In 1972, a new annexe in East Finchley and in 1990 the Hendon Lane site was closed and the school moved in its entirety to the East Finchley site. For some time the building was unused but eventually it was sold to a Jewish school.
