Christ’s College Finchley is a school where high standards of attainment and behavior are expected where each matter and where everyone has something special to contribute. We believe that all students can achieve their best and become confident, responsible adults, ready and equipped for an everchanging world. Our students are encouraged to explore their talents and passions, nurtured to exceed all expectations, and fully prepared to realize their potential.
We pursue academic excellence for all students, resolute in the belief that every student has great potential and should be allowed to fulfill it. The school combines the best aspects of conventional learning with skilled innovation and creativity to provide a rich environment for students to progress.
Our outstanding teachers and their dynamic approach to delivering a traditional education through a contemporary curriculum and modern teaching methods allow us to nurture each student’s talent and develop skills and expertise outside of the classroom. I am determined that every student will be able to reflect on their time at Christ’s College as happy and fulfilling and having provided the foundations needed for their long-term future success.
Christ’s College is an organization that makes people feel good about themselves. This is evidenced by particularly high staff retention rates over many decades and the return of the vast majority of Year 11 students eligible for our sixth form provision.
Visitors consistently comment on the friendly and happy atmosphere at the school. Prospective teachers often remark that they feel ‘at at home’ within minutes of their arrival and are keen to secure a permanent post in the school. I have utilized these qualities to make some truly outstanding additions to our staffing. These appointments bolster our fantastic team of staff who are passionate about education, care about young people, and believe in their futures.
Our teachers are integral in the pursuit of our objectives: dedicated to developing and implementing the best possible teaching practices, so they can maximize every student’s progress whilst making learning engaging and exciting. We work diligently to ensure students are inspired by all of their subjects by creating a learning environment that encourages discovery and collaboration. By providing students with enriching educational experiences, we aim to help them mature intellectually, physically, and emotionally. A balanced curriculum encourages students to develop resilience, think creatively and independently, foster passions, and be empathetic and compassionate toward others. The school and staff are committed to ensuring that your child will be more successful in their education and development at Christ’s College, than anywhere else.
Students are conscientious, caring, polite, and kind all of which are attributes the school continually strives to foster. These behaviors stem from their excellent relationships with staff throughout the school and result in a calm and purposeful atmosphere, both in and out of lessons. We use this precious commodity as the foundation for obtaining the academic success we relentlessly pursue. We pride ourselves on treating each young person as an individual and students benefit from tailored levels of support dependent on their needs all aspects of their school life are scrutinized to ensure they achieve their potential. Prefects and Sixth Formers play an important role as peer listeners and our Student Welfare team ensures that any concerns are dealt with immediately. From those who are the ablest to those who require additional support, we ensure that everyone is stretched and challenged. We believe that this approach is what enables our students to secure places at top universities and enjoy successful careers.
