We know that parents (especially Jewish parents…) like to know what their children get up to at school.  And this doesn’t stop with just parents – we know that many Grandparents (ESPECIALLY Jewish Grandparents…!) also want to feel closer to their grandchildren’s school life.  This is why we decided to hold a dedicated Grandparents Open Day, which we believe to be the first of its kind.

Grandparents were invited to JCoSS for tea and biscuits, a talk from Mr Stowe-Lindner and a mini-concert, followed by a tour of the school led by  their own grandchild.  The feedback from visitors was very positive.  Mr Ansell, who has twin grandchildren at the school, commented, “There is nothing I can fault with the school.  I am so impressed by everything we have seen here today.  No wonder my grandchildren are so settled and happy in such a short space of time.”  Another grandparent, Mrs Braham, said, “I have had an enjoyable and inspiring afternoon.  I feel very grateful that my grandson is having a superb education in wonderful surroundings”.

Staff, students and grandparents thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon and we are delighted that it was a resounding success.
