Isn’t JCoSS really a Reform/Progressive School?
No, not at all. JCoSS is a cross-communal school not Reform, Liberal, Masorti, Charedi or anything else.
Our Chair of Governors is from a Reform background; our Headteacher from an Orthodox one.
We have created an environment which values all children and respects the decisions which their parents take as to how to practice their Judaism. The school is kosher and marks all the Chagim. It teaches children about all the mainstream traditions within Judaism and seeks to equip them with the information they need to develop their own ideas, without judging their decisions. Because we know many parents, whatever their backgrounds, share these values, we have attracted pupils from across the Jewish community.
