Throughout its history, the school has striven to offer the highest educational standards to pupils from less privileged backgrounds, turning out a succession of eminent ex-pupils. Among the most notable was Israel Zangwill, who maintained a close connection with the school throughout his life.

Other former pupils include David Woolf Marks, the first Reform Reverend in Britain and professor of Hebrew Literature at University College, London in the mid-19th century; the eminent academic and Zionist Selig Brodetsky; the artist Mark Gertler; bandleader Joe Loss; Bud Flanagan of the inter-war comic duo Flanagan and Allan; actor David Kossoff; the television personality Alfred Marks; and MP and government minister Barbara Roche.

They, and countless other former pupils, have recognised the role the school had in transforming their lives.
