About Finham Park 2

Finham Park 2 is an exciting, friendly, and supportive 11-19 co-educational comprehensive school located on the west side of Coventry, near the border of Solihull and close to Warwick University. We opened in September 2015 with 120 students and have grown each year, including our 6th form, which opened in 2020.

In September 2016, we moved to our new building—a light, spacious, and high-quality refurbishment with superb facilities, including a brand-new sports hall. We are fully staffed with a positive, supportive, and forward-thinking team. Our school continues to be heavily oversubscribed each year. Our last Ofsted inspection in November 2023 described Finham Park 2 as a good school in all areas, highlighting a "purposeful atmosphere," "a calm and orderly manner," and "a highly ambitious curriculum," with leaders carefully considering staff workload, which staff appreciate.

Our Community and Curriculum

Finham Park 2 is a truly comprehensive school with nearly 700 students. The majority of our students are happy, well-behaved, friendly, inquisitive, polite, and wear their uniforms with pride. Entry students are broadly in line with national averages, with approximately 85+% having middle or higher prior attainment.

We offer an engaging curriculum that provides opportunities for all students to achieve and make the best progress possible, regardless of their starting points. Our curriculum nurtures every child's talents and offers exceptional opportunities for students to have the 'time of their lives.'

Our Partnership and Opportunities

Finham Park 2 is supported by and proud to be part of Finham Park Multi Academy Trust. This collaboration offers excellent opportunities for both staff and students across the trust's schools.
