About

Thank you for your interest in Hendon School. Hendon is a school of passion – where our students and staff care immensely about what they are doing, about our school values and about each other. Hendon School is a family – albeit a very large and diverse family – and we celebrate that. We are stronger because of our differences and because of the way that we work together.

Our school is entering a new and dynamic phase of its development and this year we have been working to articulate the vision and values that underpin our school community. At Hendon School we work in partnership with parents, the local community and other schools, both in England and Internationally.

Recently we were honoured to be invited to join the Mayors Gold Club, which allows us to share good practice with other London schools. We are a National Citizen Service Champion School and hold the British Council International Schools Award.

We work closely with our local feeder primary schools, both as part of our high involvement transition programme and also to enrich and inspire younger students.

In the school’s own words, from the school website.

Governing body (27 current, 3 former)

iAcademy trust: local governing body and trust board.

23 governors are linked to a profile (22 confirmed, 1 (likely)).

Governors marked “Confirmed same person” have exactly the same forename and surname as the only officer of that name at the school’s own academy trust company on the Companies House register, so we treat them as the same person. The governance record itself comes from DfE.
