Every child deserves an excellent education. We strive to deliver this at The Totteridge Academy through a rigorous and challenging curriculum that enables students to gain deep knowledge and understanding of the world around them. We teach our students to appreciate the beauty of maths, the wonder of science, and the power of the written word. We gradually expose pupils to the best that’s been thought and said in each area of the curriculum – every lesson, every day. At The Totteridge Academy, we provide high-quality education in a safe, caring, and disciplined environment. We teach skills and knowledge, enabling our students to become responsible, well-rounded citizens, equipped with the tools to make effective choices for their futures. We aim to bring out ‘the best in everyone and we work tirelessly to ensure that students and staff here have every opportunity to fulfill their potential. We want all our students to leave school equipped with the knowledge, qualifications, and confidence they need to succeed in the next stages of their careers and lives and become happy, responsible, and active members of society. We offer a broad curriculum that is designed to engage and inspire students, coupled with a dedicated enrichment program that ensures every student at The Totteridge Academy gains a wealth of wider experiences to help them flourish as young people. As part of United Learning – a group of academies and independent schools across the country – our students and staff benefit from the partnerships, collaborative working and extracurricular opportunities that being part of such a unique group affords us. We are proud to be part of a cluster of high-performing London schools, and we look forward to working closely with students and staff across these schools in the future. We ensure that all of our stakeholders, including staff, parents and guardians, governors, the local authority, and the community, work together to provide the best opportunities for our students, in an environment in which they can flourish. The rich educational experience at The Totteridge Academy develops students’ passion for learning and belief in their ability, both within the classroom and beyond. As a non-selective, co-educational, community school, we are committed to continuous improvement, maintaining high expectations so that every individual can attain his or her best. We celebrate and are proud of the achievements of all of our students, valuing individuality and nurturing happy, confident, and hard-working young people. Beyond the classroom, we provide a rich and nurturing culture. We greet each other in the corridor and hold the door open for the person behind us. We celebrate our differences whilst standing together as a united learning community. We provide a wide range of after-school clubs and invite inspiring speakers and organizations to join us for assemblies and special events. The school is located in beautiful countryside and our fields and courts provide ample space for the students to play sport, take part in activities, and enjoy their free time each day. We also enjoy the added benefit of such proximity to our capital city, which offers numerous cultural opportunities. View full school
