ABOUT US

JFS is a co-educational inclusive, modern, orthodox Jewish school that strives to produce well-educated, faithful and proud Jews who will be responsible and contributing members of society. JFS is a truly wonderful school. This is clear from our stunning annual public examination results which see us consistently placed in the top five schools in the country outside the independent sector.

JFS has a scale and depth of facilities that enables us to specialise in a wide range of curriculum options. Students are able to flourish academically and all our staff are subject specialists. Our rigorous curriculum includes not only Art, English, French, Geography, History, Ivrit, Jewish Studies, Mathematics, Music, PE, Science and Technology but extends to Astronomy, Classical Civilisations, Dance, Drama, ICT, Spanish and much more.

Our pastoral care ensures we take the time to nurture every child’s individual ability and talent. We pride ourselves in offering a programme which enables every child to reach their full potential.

Having relocated to our purpose built Kenton Campus in 2002, the School serves 2000 students aged 11 – 18 in state of the art facilities. Our students come from across London and Hertfordshire and represent the broadest spectrum of the Jewish community. We truly are a school for the whole Jewish community.

Our Sixth Form is exceptional and gives students the opportunity to achieve their potential while preparing them for life after School. We offer the broadest choice of subjects at ‘A’ Level and BTEC and are continuing to develop our vocational pathways. We provide first class preparation for our students’ futures.
