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 2025/26 JRCS achieved another set of excellent outcomes at both KS4 and KS5. 67% of our students achieved a level 4+ in both English and Maths and 44% achieved a level 5 pass in both English and Maths. At KS5 our A-C grade was 82%; with 59% 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.
In May 2024, Ofsted graded the school as outstanding in every category.
The work done by this school in supporting pupils to develop into successful young adults is exceptional.
Behaviour in class is very positive. Pupils work collaboratively in lessons to get the most out of learning. The school is a calm and productive environment.
This is established through the development of highly positive professional relationships between staff and students that ensures a culture of high aspiration and respect. We are looking for staff who are committed to providing our students with the highest standards of teaching and pastoral care.
High quality induction, including a two-week ECT school-based immersion programme in July, is available to all staff at JRCS as part of our strong commitment to continuing professional development.
