Students participated in JCoSS Shabbat at lunchtime today, where they had great fun plaiting challot. They will be baked and then sold tomorrow, with the proceeds going to our school charities. #JCoSSShabbat #challahplaiting #lunchtimefun

Today, Year 12 Politics students had the fantastic opportunity to participate in ‘Learn with the Lords’, where they were able to put their most pressing questions to Life Peer, Lord Lisvane. No stone was left unturned, and we are tremendously grateful for his time.

JCoSS students enjoyed a choice of over 50 activities on Enrichment Drop Down Day today. Sessions ranged from cooking culinary delights in the ‘Israeli Café’ to ‘Battle of the Bands’ and a ‘4 Hour Film School’ where they could recreate famous scenes from popular movies!

Today on Tu b’shevat, Y13 student Ruben Persey has declared a Climate Emergency at JCoSS. Every student in the school has made a personal pledge for how they will change to help reduce the school’s emissions footprint. We are proud our students want to make a crucial difference.

Welcome back JCoSS, we missed you!

Finally, thank you to our lovely students for sending in so many anonymous staff shout outs! You’ve done a spectacular job of making us feel all warm and fuzzy and we’ve included a few snippets to share the joy. Enjoy the Winter break everyone!

In a year of sometimes swirling reality, I thank everyone at JCoSS for keeping learning & life flourishing despite it all. We’ve triumphed over restrictions, moved onto social media & even learned some Greek. Here’s to smiles emerging from behind the masks in 2022! - Mr Moriarty

Last week we took part in the Project ImpACT Roadshow, where students volunteered to wrap 2000 chocolates for health care workers in London hospitals!
We think you’ll agree, it’s a wonderful way to brighten a keyworkers day 💜

Thanks to BookTrust, this term all Y7 students have received a free ‘Bookbuzz’ book of their choice! This wonderful scheme could not go ahead without the JCoSS Parents Associations kind donations & of course our brilliant LRC staff who organise this annual programme 🙌 #JCoSS
