Whitefield School
We are a state secondary school in Barnet. Our purpose is to ensure we develop well-rounded pupils who achieve great grades and have great character. Our no phone policy is a key part of delivering disruption free learning, ensuring students have the best opportunity to learn.
Whitefield students are resilient and determined, focused and driven, qualities which are central to success. During the disruptions to education over the last couple of years, our students have continued to make exceptional progress, moving on after Year 11 to great destinations including our own Sixth Form and local colleges, and our Sixth Formers have progressed to a range of Russell Group university courses, apprenticeships and employment. Whitefield students justifiably take pride in their achievements.
Alongside the pursuit of academic excellence, we have a key role in ensuring all our students are happy. Our teachers and support staff care about championing each student on their journey to achieve excellence and reach their full potential. I never want great exam results to come at the cost of young people’s wellbeing, it is all about balance. It is important to have an outlet and take part in the many clubs, performances, trips and visits on offer.
