Finham Park 2 is an exciting co-educational academy in Coventry that opened in September 2015. Already an extremely popular choice with local parents, we are significantly over-subscribed with a full cohort of Year 7 to 13 students. Our students are smart, thoughtful, inquisitive, well-behaved and polite.

The school was set up by leaders from the ‘Outstanding’ (2015) Finham Park School and we moved into our newly refurbished, high quality building in September 2016. We are proud to be part of and supported by the Finham Park Multi Academy Trust.

Already a ‘good’ school (Ofsted 2018), our aim is to be a ‘world class’ secondary school for parents and children in Coventry with the highest expectations; where we nurture every child’s unique talents and ensure children have the time of their lives. The school is built on the traditional values of PRIDE, RESPECT, and RESPONSIBILITY. Pivotal to this is a positive ethos and culture of learning and success for all students.

How we do this:

- Recognising students as individuals

- Believing that all students can and will achieve their potential

- Developing aspirational, confident and resilient learners

- Providing innovative, evidence-based teaching

- Offering a broad, balanced, creative and enriching curriculum

- Ensuring every student leaves school with the knowledge, qualifications and skills for the next stage of their lives

- Providing exceptional opportunities for students and staff

- Developing positive relationships across the school

- Recruiting, developing and retaining the best staff who go the ‘extra mile’

- Providing a safe, calm, purposeful, inclusive and positive learning environment

- Developing strong, valued partnerships with parents/ carers, governors and the local community to support and develop the culture and ethos of the school

- Ensuring students follow our 2 simple school rules: be polite; do as you are asked, when you are asked

Finham Park 2 is committed to the personal development of all of their staff and can offer:

• Outstanding professional development

• Supportive staff and a strong team ethos

• Supportive leadership

• Potential progression opportunities in a growing Multi Academy Trust
