Admissions policy
JCoSS is opening one year at a time, so that by 2017 at the latest it will have 1310 places, with 180 students in each year and a further 50 in the Pears Special Resource Provision. The Governors currently intend to open the sixth form earlier, at the beginning of year 3 (September 2012).
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 catergory is given according to a range of criteria. For the 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.
