Welcome to St Andrew the Apostle School, a faith-based Christian school with the highest aspirations for all of our pupils.
It is with great pride that I welcome you to our high-achieving Christian school for children in Barnet and beyond. Our school is more than just a place of learning; it is a community in which each member is encouraged to grow in all aspects of their lives.
We firmly believe that ‘Excellence is a habit, not a single action’. This principle is at the heart of all that we do. Our commitment to excellence is reflected in our outstanding academic results, which are a testament to the hard work of our students and staff. We strive to create an environment in which every student is known and cared for, can achieve their full potential and develop a lifelong love of learning.
As a Greek Orthodox Christian school, faith is at the core of our community. We are committed to fostering a nurturing and inclusive Christian environment. The six core values of Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Caring, Forgiveness, and Fairness, guide our actions. Our students are encouraged to develop empathy, compassion and respect for others. We know that these values are essential for personal development and for making a positive impact on both school and the wider community celebrate.
We offer a broad and balanced curriculum that caters for the diverse needs and interests of our students. We celebrate their achievements and successes. Last year our students achieved a record set of GCSE grades, placing our school in the top 20% of schools nationally.
Academic excellence is just one aspect of our school. We believe that a well-rounded education includes opportunities for students to explore their interests and talents outside the classroom. Our extra-curricular clubs offer a wide range of activities, - including sport, science and technology, drama and music; there is something for everyone. These clubs provide our students with the chance to develop new skills, strengthen friendships and discover their passions.
Our commitment to academic excellence extra-curricular opportunity and the development of the whole child through our Christian values, makes our school a special place.
Please do contact us if you have any questions or wish to tour the school. We look forward to welcoming you.
