Our School

JCoSS is the UK's first Jewish, cross-communal, state funded, secondary school, catering on an equal basis to the needs of the entire Jewish community.

It is opening one year at a time so that, by 2017, it will have 1310 places made up of 180 students (six forms of entry) in each year group, and a further fifty in the Special Resource Provision for students on the autistic spectrum.

JCoSS has a brand new, £50 million, state-of-the art building with a unique design incorporating a magnificent atrium and the very latest technology. The site is set on the edge of the green belt and is easily accessible from Barnet, South Hertfordshire and neighbouring boroughs.

It offers students all the topics covered by the national curriculum and specialises in science and technology. It has a specially created Jewish studies programme, which reflects its inclusive ethos.

JCoSS offers superb facilities that are unmatched by any existing state school. These include dance studios, science laboratories, music and ensemble rooms, all-weather pitches, a dedicated synagogue, landscaped grounds and spaces for outside learning.
