- This faith school, opened in north London in 2010, is unlike any other Jewish secondary school in the UK: it embraces all the mainstream Jewish traditions. JCoSS fosters a strong sense of community with regular events such as afternoon teas for grandparents. Seven teachers are former pupils.
- The non-selective school runs sessions for parents on the teenage brain and body image, and has a unique interfaith programme in which leaders from other religions come to speak to Years 7-9.
- In 2024, 80 per cent of A-level grades were A*-B. Six students gained university places at Oxford or Cambridge.
- Students at all levels can join orchestras, ensembles and choirs, and take part in drama activities. Individual or small group tuition is offered in singing and musical instruments.
- There is a wide range of clubs and on enrichment days, pupils can try out more than 30 activities from fencing to cross-stitch, board games and yoga.
