Welcome from Our Head Students

Our Head Students are delighted to welcome you to our Sixth Form!

Head Student: Maja 

Welcome to Finchley Catholic! My name is Maja, and I am honoured to be one of the Head Students here.

Although I have not been here at Finchley Catholic High School for as long as most of my peers, I feel the same amount of pride and sense of belonging as any one of our students here. After interacting with all the staff on The 6th Form Open Evening, I knew this was where I need to be. Their passion for their subject and care for each pupil is so evident, which is so incredibly reassuring and motivating. They all made it so clear that they are not only here to help you succeed academically but also to aid you in developing and discovering passions and talents you never knew you had, while also helping you become the very best version of yourself. Finchley Catholic High School was the driving force behind my own personal development, shaping me from quiet and uncertain to self-assured and capable. All the staff are so genuinely happy to help you in any area that you find difficulty with and will always go above and beyond for you which was critical for me during the stressful period that is university applications or even finding the career that is right for you. 

That sense of belonging was not hard to find; we have so many events like our Freshers' Fayre and our year trip to Gilwell Park that helped to integrate our year beyond just our classmates. We have so many different opportunities for people to flourish, whether that be in The Student Leadership Team, Subject Prefects, Liturgy Leaders, Equality & Diversity Reps and so many more. I am so proud to represent this school, proud of what our school does for each pupil, and so immensely proud of everyone who make it what it is. We are all so excited to welcome you to our sixth form and join us in feeling that same pride. 

Head Student: Johnny

Welcome to Finchley Catholic! My name is Johnny, and I am honoured to be one of the Head Students here.

When I joined Finchley Catholic in Year 7, I was, as expected, very nervous. I was worried starting a new school where you are the youngest there, but these nerves were settled instantly through the help and guidance of teachers, peers, and older students. Throughout the years, Finchley has created an environment where everyone feels included and supported, enabling students to grow into the best version of themselves. Our incredible facilities and dedicated teaching staff have provided me a wide variety of support and opportunities that have prepared me for future life post-sixth form.

Through our Catholic ethos and commitment to pupil support, students develop valuable and vital life skills that broaden their knowledge of career paths, university choices, and apprenticeship opportunities. These programmes, such as the Oxbridge group, offer helpful and valuable experiences giving students an insight into what they can achieve if they try their best.

It is a privilege to be Head Student this year at Finchley and everyone here is excited to welcome you to our school! I hope you embrace all opportunities you will be provided with and, ultimately, enjoy as you will make friendships and memories that will last.
