Our Vision: JCoSS is an academic, aspirational learning community, known and respected for our pioneering spirit, our humanity and our excellent outcomes.
Our Ethos: If you think you know what working in a Jewish school might be like, be ready to think again. Our outward-looking and pluralist ethos combines an embrace of open-minded values with a deep love of the varied riches of Jewish tradition. The staff and leadership team includes different faiths, and none, at all levels, and the school has a culture of purposeful good humour and humanity. We are a faith school like no other.
Our Results: Our early cohorts have achieved outstanding GCSE results, with 40% of grades at A*/A and just under a quarter of students achieving 9A or better. We have averaged +0.5 for Progress 8 in the two years so far, consistently achieve ALPS Grade 2 at GCSE and A level and were a top 100 non-selective school nationally in 2015. Our first full cohort has secured several places for Oxbridge, Medicine and Vet Science.
Staff Benefits: We appoint on potential as well as experience, and we are committed to supporting staff development. Several non-teaching colleagues have trained with us as teachers; our rich CPL programme includes full induction for new staff including NQTs, NPQH/SL/ML programmes and financial support for MA courses, Action Research projects and many other opportunities. Additional responsibilities are always considered for suitable candidates and we offer NQTs employment for the last few weeks of the summer term. Our admissions policy includes priority places for the children of all staff.
Our Location & Community: The school is in beautiful new £48m buildings overlooking the Green Belt. It is easily accessible from Northern, Piccadilly and Overground rail links and buses run past the entrance. We attract students from eloquent and supportive communities across North London and Hertfordshire. We are planning an expansion in response to over-subscription.
This Role: We seek a high-calibre professional capable of teaching at KS3, 4 and 5 to join our committed and lively staff team. The Maths faculty is one of the most conspicuously successful in the school. Student progress is strong with 9 hours teaching per fortnight at KS4 and averaging 7 hours for KS3, all in setted groups. Last summer our GCSE cohort achieved over 81% A*-C in Maths and 100% A*-A in Further Maths. At A level students achieved 100% A*-B in Maths and 100% A*-C in Further Maths. There are 4 A level groups in the current Year 12, including a Further Maths group, ably supported by a strong and cohesive team of teachers.
Additional responsibilities may be available for suitably qualified and experienced candidates, and we offer NQTs employment for the last few weeks of the summer term.
JCoSS is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all its staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All posts are subject to satisfactory enhanced Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS) clearance.
