- 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.

- 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. View full school
