About Jewish Community Secondary School
* Address: Castlewood Road, New Barnet, Hertfordshire, EN4 9GE, United Kingdom
There is no school like JCoSS. Our unique atmosphere is felt as soon as you walk through the doors of our magnificent new state-of-the-art building. Our students are passionate, our staff are happy and our parents are proud to be JCoSS parents. Our latest Ofsted report summarised the school perfectly:
* Pupils treat others as equals, showing kindness and respect.
* Very little learning time is lost to poor behaviour.
* Pupils enjoy attending this ambitious, supportive and inspiring school.
* Leaders have embedded an ethos that promotes tolerance and inclusion.
* Pupils are encouraged to develop their own identity while learning to understand and celebrate that of others.
Our Vision: JCoSS is an academic, aspirational learning community, known and respected for our pioneering spirit, our humanity and our excellent outcomes.
Our Ethos: If you think you know what working in a Jewish school might be like, be ready to think again. Our outward-looking and pluralist Jewish ethos combines an embrace of open-minded values with a deep love of the varied riches of Jewish tradition. The staff and leadership team includes different faiths and none at all levels, and the school has a culture of purposeful good humour and humanity. We are a school like no other.
Our Results: We have a track record of outstanding results. Students achieve excellent outcomes and make great progress. In 2024, 48% of A level grades were at A* or A and 75% of Cambridge Technical grades were Distinction* or Distinction. 50% of GCSE grades were grade 7 or higher, with more than a quarter of the cohort achieving at least 7 GCSEs at grade 7 or better. Our ‘Progress 8’ score is consistently significantly above the national average. Supported by a strong programme, every year students gain places at Oxbridge and for Medical and Veterinary Study, as well as for a wide range of specialisms and competitive courses at prestigious institutions.
Staff Benefits: We appoint on potential as well as experience, and we are committed to supporting staff development. Several non-teaching colleagues have trained with us as teachers; our rich CPL programme includes full induction for new teaching staff including ECTs, NPQ programmes, and financial support for MA courses, Action Research projects and many other opportunities. Additional responsibilities are always considered for suitable candidates and we offer ECTs employment for the last few weeks of the summer term. Our admissions policy includes priority places for the children of all staff.
Our Location & Community: The school is in beautiful £50m buildings overlooking the Green Belt. It is easily accessible from Northern, Piccadilly and Overground rail links, public buses run past the entrance and a school coach service (available to staff) serves our whole catchment area. We attract students from eloquent and supportive communities across North London and Hertfordshire.
