JFK is a successful school with a real sense of purpose. We maximise the academic achievements as well as the personal and spiritual development of all our young people.
“The core purpose of our school is summed up by our Mission Statement, which challenges all in our community to inspire, to achieve and to serve. Our aim is to provide the very best secondary education possible by inspiring our students with a love of learning within a safe, happy and friendly community.
We place great emphasis on achievement, believing that all students should strive for personal excellence in every aspect of school life.”
As a Catholic school, JFK is itself inspired by the person of Christ and we are guided by the Gospel values. In particular, as we help to prepare our students for life in the adult world, we encourage all in our community to be of service to others.
The Diocese of Westminster is one of the smallest diocese in England and Wales in geographical area, but the largest in terms of Catholic population and priests.
The quality of teaching and learning, the search for excellence as an integral part of the spiritual quest and the holistic development of our students, remain of paramount importance to us. The energy and commitment of staff at JFK is second to none and the part they play in challenging, channelling and nurturing the enthusiasms of the students cannot be underestimated. This is what allows us to remain as one of the very best Catholic Schools. We trust that this will be continued by the new staff we recruit.
The school achieved an SSAT Educational Outcomes Award in 2014, 2015 and 2019 for being in the top 20% of all non-selective schools nationally for high average grades achieved by students.
