Curricular provision is a significant strength of the school. The school provides an extensive range of learning experiences that meets the needs of all pupils exceptionally well. This has a substantial impact on pupil standards and wellbeing. The school is a highly inclusive and caring community. It provides outstanding support for pupils’ wellbeing, which contributes considerably to pupils’ high standards and strong spiritual, moral, social, and cultural development. Culture and Ethos: Strong behavior management processes are integral to success for pupils at Fitzalan and we adopt a restorative approach across the school to embed positive relationships between pupils and between pupils and staff. Our discipline system is based on a clear process of rewards and sanctions. In Fitzalan, curriculum provision is designed to be flexible, challenging, and individual. Pupils are grouped by ability and a literacy focus is embedded into the timetable structure. In Key Stage 3, the express sets study Latin, other groups have literacy lessons, the special needs and buffer groups have additional basic reading lessons and the timetable for new to English pupils delivers the national curriculum around English acquisition. In Key Stages 4 and 5 a wide variety of options are available, which include partnership options with other institutions. An early entry in core subjects is available for the ablest pupils. Outstanding and good teaching and learning is our priority. We have a robust system of departmental review, and individual departments use regular peer observations to share best practices and develop consistently high-quality teaching and learning across all lessons. By improving the involvement of pupils in the planning and delivery of learning we aim to ensure that lesson plans are adapted to fit the needs of pupils and ensure that learning progresses in every lesson. All departments are also improving differentiation within lessons so that every pupil has the opportunity to reach their full potential. High-quality CPD is a feature of our school and Fitzalan is one of a small number of schools selected to be a HUB School for teaching and learning in the Central South Consortium. Fitzalan is also an NQT base school for the region. View full school

The school occupies an attractive site overlooking the Pentland Hills and has a roll of over 1100 pupils and 130 staff. Our newly refurbished and extended accommodation provides an excellent learning environment for our pupils.

Through high-quality learning and teaching from our committed and caring staff, we provide a supportive and challenging educational experience. We have a strong record of academic achievement and provide a wide curriculum to meet the range of pupils’ needs while our program of extra-curricular activities, trips, and other events enhance learning and develop a range of skills including teamwork, self-confidence, and leadership. Our shared values of mutual respect between staff and pupils and our high expectations of success within a caring and supportive environment form the basis of our positive school ethos. Within our wider school community, we promote tolerance and understanding of one another and we value diversity. Firrhill High School is a Rights Respecting School and currently holds the Silver: Rights Aware Award. The Silver: Rights Aware Award is the second stage of the Rights Respecting Schools program.

We are fortunate at Fircroft to serve a diverse community in Tooting, South West London and this provides us with many opportunities to enrich the curriculum offered to our pupils. We value their cultures, languages, backgrounds, and talents, building their self-esteem to ensure successful learning and confidence to contribute to our creative community. Please come and see our confident, creative community for yourself. Meet our Fircroft family during one of my weekly tours. Our Mission Statement: Success for all, in all we do, means Being a confident, creative community - our Fircroft Family. Confidence means comes from teaching and support that allows children to achieve all they are capable of, ensuring they gain the skills to move on to secondary school and ultimately out into life. Creativity means because of the way children are taught along with the breadth and depth of their experiences and opportunities. An education that values the academic, ensures literacy and numeracy but understands that a thirst for knowledge and finding your way in life can come from many different sources. Community means because we respect, value, and celebrate our differences and diversity, whilst recognizing that we are one community with shared aims and values. And we seek to imbue these qualities into all we do, with every member of our community – children, parents, staff, governors, and local people. We want the children in our school to develop an appetite for learning that will continue throughout life. We aim to provide the best possible quality of education and to get the best out of each child. If you visit our school you will notice the calm atmosphere and the warmth and friendliness amongst staff and children. All the adults at Fircroft are involved in some way or other in each child’s learning and we are continually developing our techniques for helping all of our children to make good progress. We expect parental backing with our policies and their involvement with their child’s learning. We are as good as the combined efforts of each member of our school community. We, therefore, refer to everyone in our school community as the 'Fircroft Family'. Our thematic approach to delivering the National Curriculum, by making natural links between subjects, provides the optimal environment to motivate and engage children and maximize learning. We have taken on a scheme called CornerStones, which has cross-curricular topics that last for a half term (sometimes for a full term in the EYFS) and which provides opportunities for children to engage, develop and express their knowledge, skills, and understanding in all curriculum areas. We take full advantage of the resources available to support learning. Being an inner London school, we are fortunate to be able to make use of the wide and varied assets both in our capital city and further afield. Educational visits are made by each class to galleries, museums, parks, and other places of interest, depending on their course of study. We have specialist teachers for Spanish, music, and computing as well as several coaches for a variety of sports. In addition to this, we offer an abundance of extracurricular activities (some free and some charged for) and at present have over 25 clubs running throughout the week, either before or after school. Parents and Carers receive annual curriculum letters and half-termly topic webs detailing what will be covered by each year group. These are also on display within the school. If you would like further information, your child's class teacher will be happy to answer any questions you may have. View full school

Happiness is in abundance here. This is largely due to the strong family ethos that is Finton House, preserved by upholding the two founding principles of the school with a non-selective intake and a fully inclusive education. From the first day in our Reception class, children are nurtured and guided through a range of quality learning experiences, leaving us at the end of Year 6 as confident, caring, and responsible young people with a love for learning. Our highly successful record of entry into first-choice schools at 11+, including a high percentage of scholarships and awards, is something we are very proud of. Pupils of all ability thrive at Finton House, including those with special needs. The happy faces of the pupils and staff throughout this website are not staged, they are just an honest reflection of this secure and caring learning environment. Look out for the specialist facilities enjoyed by Science, Design & Technology, Music and Art as well as the large sports field where children of all ages are coached in a variety of sport and enjoy a full fixture list. The school motto "Open Hearts and Guiding Hands" sums up the warm and caring relationships that we aim to promote to deliver the best education. Finton House was founded in 1987 as a charitable trust with two principles in mind. Firstly that young children should not have to face the pressures of a competitive entry system. Secondly that of providing an inclusive environment, where all children, including those with specific needs, have the same opportunities. These principles underpin the educational experience at Finton House. Aims of the school are at Finton House Everyone feels safe, happy, and valued. Boys and girls of all abilities, including the ablest and those with special educational needs, are nurtured and challenged to make excellent personal and academic progress. The education is broad, embracing technology as well as using the outdoors, allowing children to discover their strengths and passions. Children learn how to lead a healthy life to flourish in a rapidly changing world. At Finton House, we believe that children learn better when they are confident and inspired. This belief informs our approach to education. Small class sizes, specialist teaching, cross-curricular integration, workshops, trips, and special events all contribute to the development of a love of learning. Finton House provides a broad and balanced curriculum, extending beyond the National Curriculum. The timetable includes English, Maths, Science, Computing, PSHEE (Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education), Languages, Art, Design & Technology, Drama, Dance, Music, Reasoning, Religious Education, Games and Critical Thinking. We aim to develop key skills and an enthusiastic approach to learning that will remain with the children long after they have left us. Finton House has a committed and well-qualified teaching staff made up of class teachers and subject specialists. A high staff to pupil ratio and small teaching groups mean children learn effectively and make rapid progress. The class teacher develops a close relationship with the children and is responsible for each child's pastoral care. There are strong home-school links, and frequent opportunities to discuss children's progress and welfare. View full school

Students tell us that from the moment they walk through the gates for an interview, they realize they have found the place where they are meant to be. Although Fine Arts College attracts many types of students, they all wish to study in an energizing, open atmosphere, where they make firm friendships that last throughout their lives. They are taught by outstanding tutors, many of whom are pursuing their own creative and academic interests, which feed back into the education of the students. We thus emphasize that education is for life as well as to pass examinations. Fine Arts were established in 1978 as a College giving equal importance to the creative as well as academic arts subjects. We believe that excellence can be achieved in all areas through encouragement, a focus on a student’s talents and aspirations, and above all the education of the whole person. Our achievements in the visual arts, music, and drama are as exceptional as those of our academic subjects. Our students are taught in small classes and have excellent pastoral care overseen by individual personal tutors. This ensures an outstanding examination pass rate and successful entry into higher education at a variety of British, American, and European universities. At Fine Arts College we have a distinctive educational philosophy that informs our approach to teaching and our cultivation of a welcoming, collaborative College. We believe this environment fosters the talents and ambitions of our students, preparing them well for higher education. Our small size means that we know all our students as individuals, which is particularly important in encouraging and supporting them personally – moving away from the ‘us and them’ teacher-pupil relationships of their younger years. We closely monitor each student’s progress but we also encourage self-discipline and self-motivation: the informal nature of relationships between staff and students strengthens high expectations and a rigorous approach to work. Our lessons challenge the students to engage in discussion and debate so that, far from being simply ‘taught’, students become inquiring critical thinkers and independent learners. We want to inspire a passion for learning that will last a lifetime and continue to enrich beyond formal exams. Fine Arts College is a part of the Dukes Education Group. Dukes Education delivers high-quality education to students of all ages, helping them develop personal and academic excellence and gain entrance to top independent schools and leading UK and US universities. As part of the Dukes Education Group, Fine Arts College benefits from close links with other specialisms offered within the group, such as the international English language summer courses, private tuition, and expertise in Oxford, Cambridge, and US university admissions.

Finchley Catholic High is a distinctively Catholic school, where we strive to ensure all members of our community are known and loved for who they are. We know that students flourish and learn effectively when they are happy, safe, and secure and we provide such an environment for all of our students. All adults who work here at Finchley Catholic know that our prime focus is to walk alongside our young people as they undertake their faith and their educational journeys so that when students leave our school, they are well prepared for their next stage and equipped to make a positive contribution to the wider world. We have a long and proud history. Finchley Catholic High School was founded in 1926 by the redoubtable Canon Clement Parsons, Parish Priest of St Alban’s. A man of great drive and vision, he was responsible for the creation of a school that has provided a first-class Catholic education for the thousands of students that have passed through its doors during its history. The school motto, ‘Grant that we may be truly wise, remains as central to our mission today as when it was first adopted. We cherish these strong foundations, but we are also an outward-looking school committed to securing high achievement and opportunities for all of our students and preparing them for the demands of their future lives as global citizens. We have succeeded in recent years in raising funds for an extensive building and refurbishment program so that our facilities are now the first-rate and include an astroturf pitch, our playing fields with pavilion, a Performing Arts Centre, and up to date computer network and our new state of the art Sixth Form Centre. Our site with its iconic White House and interestingly varied architecture is blessed with trees, shrubs, and lawns. We offer a very wide range of extra-curricular activities from early morning to after school, including trips abroad, from skiing to music, history, and theatre tours. There is a high enrolment for the Duke of Edinburgh scheme with its expeditions for bronze and silver awards. The relationship we build with our parental community is of paramount importance to us. We believe that parents are the ‘prime educators’ and our continued success owes much to the highly effective partnership we establish with all of our parents. We commit to working very closely with them in a mutually supportive way, to ensure the very best provision and outcomes for their sons and daughters. If you are considering an application to the school, I would encourage you to come and visit us and see the school in action. Consideration of the various external reports that are available to you, and for which links have been provided, alongside a visit, will ensure you are then in a strong position in terms of making an informed choice. Our school has continued to excel through the talent and commitment of those who work here. We invest significantly in ensuring that we appoint the best teachers, all of whom are subject-specialists, and we welcome expressions of interest from those who might be keen to secure employment at Finchley Catholic High School. If you have the talent and commitment to make a real difference and the willingness to ‘go the extra mile’, we would be delighted to hear from you. We look forward to the future with confidence, excitement, and an ongoing commitment to serve our young people with love and compassion. In whatever capacity, we invite you to join us in our mission.

Finborough is a learning family in every sense. Each of our pupils is known well, valued and cherished, for their abilities and attributes. From day one in our outstanding Nursery through to the Sixth Form, we do not relent in our care and unfettered ambition for every child. It is so special to be able to educate children from two to eighteen years of age, watching them grow, and emerge as young adults, ready for the world. At Finborough, children can be the best version of themselves, without the impediments or insecurity that can plague the most formative years of a young person’s life. Our nurturing approach, set alongside high expectations and steadfast support, enables us to bring out the best in each individual. Pupils’ extremely high standards of behavior and conduct, alongside their positivity and receptiveness, make them a joy to teach, enabling the most productive and effective lessons. Excellent teachers enjoy an exceptional, professionally rewarding experience. Comparatively small classes, of beautifully behaved and motivated pupils, supported by outstanding facilities and technology, enable consistently excellent teaching. Our comprehensive, professional learning program ensures teachers are genuinely at the top of their game and continue to develop their skills. Our traditional yet progressive curriculum and focus on ‘Learnability’ enables a truly bespoke approach to captivate and inspire every single pupil.‘Learnability’ is our unique approach to developing our pupils’ voracity for knowledge, understanding, and betterment. The opportunity to perpetually focus on marginal learning gains is an exceptionally powerful tool for both school and life beyond. Undoubtedly, being an independent or even interdependent learner with a ‘better never stops’ growth mindset are key factors in Finborough pupils becoming highly successful people, dovetailing perfectly with our focus on Stephen Covey’s Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, at the core of our innovative and progressive leadership program at the school. This philosophy extends way beyond the classroom. It finds its way out onto the sports field, onto the stage, and to the creative confidence required at the easel. The wealth of experiences on offer for Finborough pupils is astounding and, as you might expect, their engagement is quite exceptional. For our community of boarders – full, weekly, or those who stay over occasionally through our Flexi boarding options – Finborough is a home from home. They are cared for expertly by a fantastic team of house staff and enjoy a plethora of opportunities beyond the packed school schedule. At Finborough, we understand that investing in the culture of any organization is key to success. That is why over the past decade The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, written by Stephen Covey, has been used to develop and shape our culture. All our staff has attended the signature training which is an intense 2/3 day personal development program. Our teachers are in the position of developing people every day, it is our firm belief that we should provide continual personal and professional development for all our staff, to ensure they are the best educators. The seven habits are common sense, the benefits to individuals of adopting the habits are extensive and therefore the benefits to organizations and the people within are plentiful. Our students will be leaving Finborough and entering a highly competitive world for university places and careers. Students need more than great results now to get a job they need the self-confidence and self-belief to make an impact. This program, alongside the other life skills sessions, will provide additional knowledge and tools that are required in our competitive marketplace. Every half term the whole school focuses on one habit using age-appropriate language and methodology. So our children in Year 1 will have written their mission statements (which is part of habit 2 Begin with the End in Mind) alongside our Year 11 students. The sixth formers help to deliver the habits to the younger pupils, which in turn reinforces their learning. As Covey states you only truly start to live the habits once you have taught them. A common language is developed both in and out of the classroom so it is not uncommon to here 6 hear olds talking about being proactive and 14-year-olds looking for a win-win solution! At Finborough School, we are committed to providing each pupil with the best preparation for life. We are clear that this will be delivered through several different strategies. We have an eclectic group of teachers who bring different life experiences, are from a wide range of countries, and are a mix of age groups. Our teachers are involved in wider school life and therefore get a chance to see our pupils in and outside of the classroom. We are investing heavily in their personal and professional development to ensure they are the best educators. When we say environment we not only mean the location and facilities but also the day-to-day workings of the school. Multi-million-pound investment has seen the opening of a new sports hall and the multi-purpose Sky Room alongside a Paddy and Scotts café (which the sixth formers can work in around their studies to gain life experience and earn some money!) Refurbished boarding houses and classrooms, a dedicated forest schools area, a dedicated learning lounge, and updated computer labs alongside dining room extensions, the list goes on! Our culture is shaped through the Seven Habits of Highly Effective People (link) and the unique Learnability framework (link). A common language has been developed which enables our staff to assist each pupil in developing confidence, self-esteem, and a sense of identity which in turn ensures students achieve their best academically. At Finborough we want our pupils to be themselves and be proud of who they are. The school has been in business for over 25 years. We are committed to seeing the school continue to grow. We never want to become complacent so we are always observing our competitors stay one step ahead. We have a sound financial plan which will enable us to continue the school’s development. The school is family-owned and family-run therefore we are not accountable financially to any other external bodies and do not have to use paying parents’ revenue to subsidize others.

All children are members of one of the school’s five houses and Year 6 Pupils are nominated House Captain and monitors at the start of each school year. We also elect a Head Boy and Head Girl each year along with deputies. We have a range of rewards systems in place, including house points, merits, class of the week, and attendance awards. For a school to be a safe, ordered environment, discipline is essential. Clear limits are placed on the children for their safety and welfare through which they should become responsible for their behavior, adopt a caring attitude to others and care for the school as a whole. Staff base their control on fairness, friendliness, and firmness. Our main priority is to ensure that every child's time at Field End is a happy one. However, there may be times when parents have particular concerns, in which case they should seek an immediate appointment with either their child's class teacher or Year Group Leader. If they are still not happy, they should make an appointment with a member of the Senior Leadership Team. Any complaint will be confidentially handled, evaluated, investigated, and, hopefully, resolved. If parents are still unhappy they should approach the governing board. View full school
