OUR JOURNEY
“A dream doesn't become a reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work.” Colin Powell

MOSAIC'S JOURNEY
In 2010 there was already a well-established and successful Jewish nursery in Wimbledon. The concept of starting a primary school in the area aligned with the nursery’s experience as its guide was only a dream. At that time there was no available route to establishing a school accessible to all and funded by the government!
​
However the Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition introduced free schools following the 2010 general election as part of the Big Society initiative. Free schools were an extension of the academy programme, and parents, teachers, charities and business could set up their own schools if they navigated the extremely demanding and competitive, application process.
​
This initiative offered a possible window of opportunity to the Jewish Community to propose a ‘faith school for our times’ a Jewish school for all Jews irrespective of their level of observance. To be designated as a faith school at least 50% of places needed to be open to all members of the wider community. This was central to the ethos and vision of the founders of Mosaic as was the importance of respecting all Jews and those of all other faiths, beliefs and none.

SPORTS PREMIUM
The Sports Premium is a grant given to schools which is additional to main school funding. The aim is to ensure all young people have the opportunity to live healthy and active lives. A positive experience of sport and physical activity at a young age can build a lifetime habit of participation and is central to meeting the government’s ambitions for a world-class education system.
SEND
Mosaic Jewish Primary school is an inclusive school and we believe that all children should be given the opportunities to reach their full potential. As a school we work together to ensure that children are challenged and supported in all lessons and, where needed, are given additional support.
​
From time to time many children will need special help either to overcome a learning difficulty, or to ensure that the curriculum fully extends their abilities. Specialist help is available within the school. Our Special Needs co-ordinator, Mrs Brown, oversees the work of a team of teachers and classroom assistants who support and advise the classroom teacher. They work with focus groups of children and monitor their progress.
Additional help is available, when appropriate, from Educational Psychologists and other outside support agencies.
​
Children who have a specific area of need are given an SEND Support Plan which is reviewed throughout the year. Children, parents and the school are very much part of this process.

COMMITTEE STRUCTURE
​The committee structure of MJPS Governing Body (GB) is the mechanism through which the governors carry out their remit of supporting and challenging the Headteacher and the staff to deliver the vision for the School and provide an Outstanding Teaching and Learning Environment for its pupils.
There are three main Committees, each concerned with a key area of the School’s operations and performance. The focus of their activities each year is on the progress made towards specific strategic goals as laid out in the School Development Plan. The Committees also monitor the School’s delivery of statutory requirements as regards the education and wellbeing of pupils and the management of staff and resources.
