Overview
JFS is one of the highest-performing schools in the country and one of the largest. We are looking for kind members of staff with the determination of relentless organisation and follow-through to ensure that no child slips through the net. JFS is a high-achieving, inclusive school serving a community invested in its outcomes. With nearly 2,000 pupils, 62% of all GCSE grades were 7 or above and 64% of A-level grades were A*-A or above. The school recovered from being in ‘Special Measures’ in September 2021 and was rated ‘Good’ by OfSTED in April 2022. The rapid turnaround reflects the dedication of our staff and our ongoing pursuit of improvement. OfSTED is a point of assessment; our day-to-day journey is what matters to us at JFS.
