Christ’s College Finchley was inspected on 24th and 25th February 2025 and we are delighted that the report recognises that the school’s work may have improved significantly since the last inspection. The report is the best possible outcome for the school and means that evidence gathered during the inspection suggests that if a graded inspection took place all judgements would be outstanding.
The report provides external validation of what we already know about CCF and we would like to sincerely thank all of the staff, governors, parents/carers and pupils who have worked so hard over the years. Whilst the report highlights no areas for improvement, we are aware that this does not make us a perfect school. The report highlights our ‘commitment to continuous improvement’ and we are determined to ensure that Christ’s College Finchley continues to grow and develop so that our pupils continue to advance all the way.
The Inspection report highlighted:
‘The school’s excellence is the result of the coherent way it brings everything together in the best interests of pupils.’
Pupils receive ‘a first-class education at Christ’s College Finchley’.
‘The bringing together of academic excellence and high expectations for pupils’ conduct, is what makes CCF so successful.’
‘Behaviour across the school is impeccable.’
‘Pupils enjoy coming to school and their attendance is especially high.’
‘Pupils speak knowledgeably about how the school promotes respect and tolerance.’
‘The ambitious curriculum is delivered expertly across the school, including in the sixth form where students have a wide range of study opportunities.’
‘The curriculum is extended effectively through a range of visits, trips and experiences.’
