From the Finham Park School
Greetings from Finham Park School. We are a sizable, overcrowded school with a catchment area in the western part of Coventry. We have a good working relationship with other schools locally, nationally, and worldwide. Our connections in China, the United States, and Africa, as well as our growing connections there, provide our students with amazing opportunities as they acquire a global perspective. The personal skills they develop as a result are truly World Class as they become highly literate technologically, scientifically, culturally and emotionally. Students who attend the school are encouraged to develop in both academic and non-academic arenas so that as they develop lifelong friendships they leave with the skills they need to live well and enjoy a full life beyond the years of schooling. Our pupils take pleasure in their education because they are inspired to reflect on and feel awe at the world in which they live. As students use what they have learned in their daily lives, their teachers delight them. All of the teachers at the school are devoted to helping each student reach their full potential. I hope that this website will help you get a feel for what it's like to be a student at the school and that it will pique your interest in learning more.
