About Us
Our Vision
At Mosaic Jewish Primary School, we believe that every child has the potential to succeed. Our school is committed to creating a safe and nurturing environment where students can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. Through our Jewish values, we inspire our students to become lifelong learners who respect themselves and others. We empower them to understand their role in the world and believe in their ability to make a positive impact within their families, communities, and beyond
School Values
British Values
​Mosaic is committed to serving its community. We recognise the multi-cultural, multi-faith and ever-changing nature of the United Kingdom. We understand the vital role that we have in ensuring that groups and individuals in the school are not subjected to intimidation or radicalisation by those wishing to unduly or illegally, influence them.
We follow equal opportunities guidance which guarantees that there will be no discrimination against any individual or group, regardless of faith, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, political or financial status, or similar. We are dedicated to preparing Mosaic’s children for their adult life beyond the formal, examined curriculum and ensuring that we promote and reinforce British Values to all our pupils.
 
The Government emphasises that schools are required to ensure that key ‘British Values’ are taught in all UK schools. The government set out its definition of British values in the 2011 Prevent Strategy.
The five British Values are:
-
Democracy
-
The rule of law
-
Individual liberty
-
Mutual respect
-
Tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs
At Mosaic we are committed to actively promoting British values, which complement our own vision and values statement.
Our 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.
