Headteacher’s welcome JCoSS is dedicated to the pursuit of academic excellence,
and to the full richness of Jewish learning. We provide a high-achieving,
aspirational environment: our high quality teaching staff deploy the best in
educational practice to ensure our students reach the highest levels of academic
attainment. We are relentlessly ambitious for their success, tirelessly seeking
to inspire them to outstanding results. At JCoSS we are committed to the success
of each child in all that they do. We attach a high value to academic
attainment, and we recognise and celebrate personal achievement across every
field of endeavour. The JCoSS environment enriches our students with a wealth of
opportunities both in and out of the classroom, so that they are well grounded
and well rounded, able to achieve their potential in every way. JCoSS represents
something unique in Jewish and British education. As a pluralist Jewish school
we promote understanding and enquiry, we open minds and we strengthen dialogue.
We embrace the entire Jewish community regardless of affiliation or observance,
teaching the full range of Jewish beliefs, practices and values. Your child will
learn in a way that affirms and enhances his or her faith, background and
tradition. We encourage curious minds to ‘think otherwise’. We seek to spark
brilliance in all our students and inspire them to become articulate, informed,
confident and motivated young people, qualified and equipped for the challenges
and opportunities of the 21st century. I feel very privileged to lead this
wonderful school. My career has been spent in schools renowned for academic
achievement, and I bring experience of overseeing hundreds of successful
applications to Oxbridge and other competitive institutions. I am determined
that JCoSS students should have every opportunity to achieve the highest
standards in all that they do.
