JRCS
This is a great opportunity to join an outstanding secondary school as part of a friendly and hard-working department. Established as a brand-new school in 2002, we moved into our award-winning £30 million accommodation in 2005. The school is located within easy reach of central London via the District Line and yet just minutes by car from the Essex countryside.
The school prides itself on providing both teaching and non-teaching staff with effective support to ensure that the professional development needs of all staff are fully met and that there is a high level of challenge in the opportunities they are offered. Wednesday afternoons are devoted to CPD and the school has a very strong record of developing staff. JRCS is such a special place to work. Staff wellbeing is important to us; we are a caring and supportive school. Staff turnover is low, and staff enjoy being part of our supportive and friendly community.
In 2024/25 JRCS achieved another set of excellent outcomes at both KS4 and KS5. 69% of our students achieved a level 4+ in both English and Maths and 48% achieved a level 5 pass in both English and Maths. At KS5 our A*-C grade was 84%; with 64% achieving A*-B grades. Our Sixth Form continues to work in partnership with four other schools to deliver the highest quality post-16 education pathways for our students.
We pride ourselves on being a truly inclusive school and this is actively underpinned by our motto ‘Success for All’. Academic rigour runs alongside a commitment to character education and extra-curricular activities. Our extensive range of extra-curricular activities, together with our educational trips programme is second to none and ensures all students get the chance to extend their academic, social, and cultural experiences outside of the classroom.
