It was moved to the church of Panagia in Wood Green from the original location in Acton in around the mid-1990's. Then it moved to its current location in Bounds Green (just across the road). Its educational system follows the Greek curriculum, offering the Apolytirion of Gymnasion (eq. to junior high or a number of GCSE's) and the Apolytirion of Lykeion (eq. to senior high or a number of A-Levels). All the classes are taught in Greek except for English and other language courses which are offered from time to time.It is a follow-on school to the Greek Primary School of London, which is still located in the old location of 3 Pierrepoint Road, West Acton.
