JCoSS

When there are more applications than places for 2027-28 (Year 7), places are offered in this order of priority. Meeting a higher criterion beats meeting a lower one.

1. 1Jewish children (and children of staff) — Jewish children are those who demonstrate, or of whom at least one parent demonstrates, commitment to the Jewish faith or involvement in recognised Jewish faith activities. Documentary evidence of attendance by a parent/carer or child at a minimum of 4 synagogue services in the six months prior to the application. Or documentary evidence of a child's engagement in formal Jewish education (either provided, where relevant, at a school having a Jewish religious character, a Cheder/Hebrew school, or equivalent, or by a tutor) on at least 3 occasions in the six months prior to application. and documentary evidence of a parent/carer or child's involvement in any Jewish communal, charitable or welfare activity on at least 3 occasions in the six months prior to application. This must have been in a volunteer capacity, with no financial value or practical benefit to JCoSS or any associated body.
2. 2Jewish looked-after or previously looked-after children (adopted, child arrangements order, or special guardianship order) — Jewish children who are looked after, or who previously were looked after but ceased to be so because they were adopted (or became subject to a Child Arrangements Order or special guardianship order).
3. 3Jewish children with sibling at school — Jewish children who have a sibling who attends the School at the date of admission or who was on-roll on the last day of the summer term of the academic year within three years prior to application.
4. 4Jewish children living nearest to school (maximum 10%) — A maximum of 10% of the places for Jewish children who live nearest to the School, with those living closest having higher priority. Distance is measured in a straight line between the address point for the child's home, supplied by Ordnance Survey, to the school's main entrance using the Council's computerised geographical information system.
5. 5Children of permanent staff with 2+ years service — Children (Jewish and non-Jewish) whose parents are members of the JCoSS staff with a permanent contract of employment who have completed two years of service on the last day of the summer term of the academic year prior to application.

7. 7Non-Jewish looked-after or previously looked-after children — All other children who are looked-after or who were previously looked-after, but ceased to be so because they were adopted (or became subject to a Child Arrangements Order or special guardianship order).
8. 8Other-faith children — These are children who demonstrate, or of whom at least one parent demonstrates, commitment to a faith or involvement in recognised religious activities. This will be assessed by documentary evidence of attendance by the child or by a parent/carer at a minimum of 4 religious services in the six months prior to the application.
9. 9Other-faith children with sibling at school — 'Other-faith children' who have a sibling who attends the School at the date of admission or who was on-roll on the last day of the summer term of the academic year within three years prior to application.

12. 12All other children — All other children.

If two applications tie: If in any category there are more applicants than there are available places remaining, offers will be made by random allocation using Barnet Council's computerised system and places will be offered accordingly. If an offer is made under any category to someone who is a twin, triplet or one of multiple births, an offer will also be made to the other sibling(s). This applies for secondary transfer only and not in-year applicants.
