Admissions
JCoSS is opening one year at a time, so that by 2017 we will have 1310 places, with 180 students in each year and a further 49 in the Pears Special Resource Provision. We will be opening the sixth form next year in September 2012.
We are proud to say that JCoSS is extremely popular. In the event that JCoSS is oversubscribed in any one year, the JCoSS Trust, in consultation with Barnet LEA, has established an admissions policy, which gives priority to applicants as follows (in order of priority):
- Jewish children: 'Jewish Children' are children who demonstrate, or of whom at least one parent demonstrates, commitment to the Jewish faith or involvement in recognised Jewish faith activities.
- All other faith children
- Other children
Priority within each category is given according to a range of criteria. For the 2012-2013 full admissions criteria click here or email admissions@jcoss.barnet.sch.uk
(Children with special needs are covered by separate criteria.)
As with all schools, the admission policy is reviewed by the Governors annually to ensure that it is working fairly in practice.

Barnet Council is consulting on admission arrangements for Barnet community schools for the academic year 2013/14, which includes JCoSS. Responses to these arrangements are invited and should be submitted directly to Barnet Council by 26 February 2012. Please click here to view the proposed policy.
