St Andrew the Apostle School is an inclusive secondary school in Brunswick Park, Barnet, founded in 2013. [1][2][3]
It is the first and only state-funded Greek Orthodox secondary school in Britain.[4] The school is named after St Andrew the Apostle. It serves families from all backgrounds and the wider Greek and Cypriot community.
The Greek Orthodox element of the school is introduced to students through a chapel at the school and communal worship in assemblies.[5]
The school has been established jointly by Russell Education Trust, the Greek Orthodox Church and the Classical Education Trust.[6][7]
The students completed their first GCSEs in 2018 and the school was placed in the top 5% of the country[8]
