whitefield school
Whitefield School is a secondary school and sixth form located in the London
Borough of Barnet. In 2009 it came under new leadership and was in the top 1%
most improved schools in the country in 2010. Since then it has been in the top
1 or 2% of schools in the country for the value it adds to the expected progress
of its students, (i.e. they achieve more at Whitefield than they might at most
other schools). Whitefield was one of the first schools in Barnet to convert to
academy status in 2011, in order to use the freedoms granted by this status to
further improve the remarkable academic performance of its students. The
sustained improvement in exam results, outstanding teachers and strong
relationships between staff and students, has seen numbers applying to join
Whitefield increase dramatically in recent years.
