Pupils of Beit Shvidler Primary School (formerly Edgware Jewish Primary) saw their modern premises for the first time on Monday following a £5 million rebuilding project.

The renaming is in recognition of the generosity of Eugene Shvidler, a Russian oil billionaire who is a close associate of Roman Abramovich.

Governors' chair Eddy Breuer-Weil observed that "Beit Shvidler is a part of the JSSM movement and the family of Hasmonean schools that has benefited the Jewish community of London for the past 70 years and more.

"It is now also a part of the family of Beit Shvidler projects in Moscow, Ufa, New York, Jerusalem and now here in Edgware."
