Our aim is to be an outstanding example of truly great comprehensive  education. 

We passionately believe that every young person has talent and it is the job  of a great school to ensure that they fulfil it. Our curriculum has breadth,  focuses on core skills and provides a route forward for every learner. We are  extremely proud of the progress achieved for all groups of learners at A Level and GCSE in recent years and our collective aim is to continue to build  on this year on year going forward.

I am taking the NPQSL course at the moment and I used World Class Schools as an example of how wonderful it is to give our students opportunities and how great the WCSQM application process is.

World Class Quality Mark status has given Finham Park School an enviable reputation nationally and internationally, enabling us to recruit the best, most dynamic staff and be a school that teachers and students are proud to be a part of. The opportunities World Class status brings enable us to influence, lead others and grow as a school community as we share excellence with the very best practitioners both at home and internationally.
Chris Bishop | Headteacher, Finham Park School, Coventry On Accreditation
Thank you so much for the World Class School celebration event yesterday, it was so well organised and I came away with a lot of information and great sharing of best practise. It was also lovely to see the other schools' hard work and projects.
