Leadership and Financial
Who are your governors and trustees?
Our governors and trustees are drawn from every section of the community and are vastly experienced.
Who contributed financially to JCoSS?
Originally set up in July 2001 in response to a growing demand from parents, JCoSS is now an independent, voluntary body, which operates through the Jewish Community Secondary School Trust, a registered charity and a company limited by guarantee.
Is there a voluntary levy and, if so, how much is it?
In common with other Jewish schools, a voluntary parental contribution is payable by those that can afford it, to fund the extra costs of a Jewish school. For 2011/12 it will be £1350.
