In case this is of interest, JFS has changed its admissions policy.
JFS is a 10 form entry state jewish secondary school in North London that consistently achieves outstanding results.
Previously it required the pupils to be jewish (by birth or orthodox conversion) now it has been forced to move to an observance basis, such that around 6 synagogue attendances between now and the application day in October (including jewish new year and day of atonement)would be enough.
Here is the link: www.thejc.com/node/19289
Anyone who wants to send their child to the school needs to contact a synagogue as no doubt they will be coming up with methods to clock people in and out etc.
Also do you think that people who are not jewish in any way would want to send their children to this school, and would attend the synagogue in order to do so - all the current children are jewish although many from non observant families.
