What is the difference between JCoSS and other Jewish secondary schools?
JCoSS is the only Jewish secondary school in the UK to welcome on an equal basis Jews of all backgrounds, beliefs and - in partnership with Norwood - abilities.
It is genuinely cross-communal: pupils are taught to understand and respect all the UK's mainstream Jewish traditions.
Its governors are drawn from all the mainstream movements: United, Reform, Masorti, Liberal and unaffiliated.
Its commitment to include all extends to those with special educational needs, working in partnership with Norwood to provide a unique special unit for pupils on the autistic spectrum.
Its top priority is educational excellence: JCoSS has recruited the best leaders and the best teachers, to complement state-of-the-art facilities in a setting on the edge of the greenbelt.
