Outside the classroom
“At JFS, we hope to deliver a well-rounded and culturally rich education.”
The enrichment curriculum plays a crucial part in achieving this objective, and as such its purpose is to provide a broad range of opportunities for learning and development outside of the classroom. Staff work together at JFS to implement varied opportunities for our students to be able to grow socially; gain leadership skills, expand their knowledge, and develop qualities they will need to carryout roles in the future.

Practicalities
The practicalities of providing these opportunities are a welcome challenge at JFS where all staff are happy to give their time, and goodwill to run the activities and workshops, many clubs are run at lunch break, whilst others are after school ‘Extended Services’ and there is transport available accordingly.
Trips
The trips we offer are a chance for our students to deeper engage with the school curriculum, and to seek opportunities for learning and to reward those who have shown commitment and effort in their studies. Successful trips have included visits to the Houses of Parliament, The Guardian Newspaper, the Cutty Sark, clink museum, west end productions, debating competitions held at South Hampstead School, Model UN inter-schools competitions, and to Germany for the Belsen75 project.
