Christ’s College Finchley

As Headteacher of Christ’s College Finchley I am extremely proud to lead a school with such a rich tradition and exciting future. When I joined in the summer of 2013, however, the school’s position was fragile; results had fallen to 51% 5A*-C including English and maths, with 52% gaining A*-C in Maths and English. These poor results were swiftly followed by an Ofsted inspection which graded the school ‘Requires Improvement’. The inevitable then followed with a drop in parental confidence and a dip in projected student numbers. In addition, teacher predictions for 2014 were even lower and it soon became evident that there was much to do.

Our progress since has been impressive and we have been rewarded with national plaudit and accolades.
