It is a great honour to serve Maria Fidelis as headteacher and I feel privileged to have given the responsibility of leading this wonderful school. Our core purpose is to provide academic excellence and success for all students within a Catholic FCJ community, and I am determined that the school builds on its strong legacy and continues to flourish. At Maria Fidelis, we have uncompromisingly high expectations for all students in terms of attitudes to learning, effort, behaviour and standards of uniform.
Our ethos is based on the FCJ values of dignity, companionship, hope, excellence, justice and gentleness, and these underpin the way we treat each other and ourselves.
Students here learn in an environment which has good discipline and is supportive; we pay particular attention to attendance and punctuality, both of which are vital to class discipline and effective learning. We are very fortunate to have such committed staff, who have the highest aspirations for our students and we work closely with parents as we strive for continued success for all of our students.
Our school plays an important and active role in both the local and wider communities, and this helps our students develop spiritually, socially and emotionally in order to meet the challenges they will face as future employees, employers, parents and community leaders.
Everyone is welcome here, everyone has a purpose here and everyone has a contribution to make.
By working together, we can ensure that students feel valued, develop a love of learning, make excellent progress and leave us with the necessary skills and attitudes to lead successful and fulfilling lives.
The Catholic faith is at the heart of everything we do at our school. Each day begins with time for prayer, often using the school’s online prayer resource as a source of guidance; we also have weekly assemblies and mass is celebrated throughout the year.
We encourage all our students to engage in extra-curricular activities. We currently offer: Basketball; Boxing; Chess Club; Choir; Dance; Debating; Duke of Edinburgh; Drama; Film Making; Football; Netball; The Empty Vault; Textiles; and Volleyball.
Maria Fidelis is situated in a convenient location between Euston and Kings Cross train stations, which makes it very easy to reach. The British Library, Francis Crick Institute, Wellcome Trust, UCL, SOAS, LSE and Central St. Martin’s School of Art are all within a five-minute walk of the school.
