It is distinctive for actively welcoming children irrespective of their religious background. It opened in September 2011.

Of those initial Free Schools whose costs were released by the UK Government, it received the largest amount of investment, at £6.2 millionThe school's original working name was 'Haringey Jewish Primary School', but the permanent name of Eden was adopted in order to convey the school's ethos more clearly. Eden is a small, single-form-entry school, admitting 30 children into Reception each year. It began with a single Reception class and is building up its population gradually, with a new class of 4-5-year-olds joining each September. Its first year was spent in temporary accommodation, and it moved to permanent premises in September 2012. The cost of construction was budgeted and delivered at £2.6 million. 323 applications to open Free Schools were received by the Department for Education in the first year of operation, out of which 24 schools opened in 2011.
