About Finham Park 2

Finham Park 2 is a popular choice among Coventry families, with 147 first-preference applications for its 180 Year 7 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.7. That means nearly three families applied for every available spot, a strong signal of local demand. The school is a mixed, non-faith secondary and sixth form, led by headteacher William Keddie. It currently has 774 pupils against a capacity of 890, so there is some room to grow. A significant proportion of its intake — 32.8 per cent — is eligible for free school meals, which is well above the national average and reflects the school's inclusive, comprehensive intake. In its most recent ungraded Ofsted inspection in November 2023, the school was confirmed to remain Good, a rating it has held since its last graded inspection in June 2018, where inspectors judged both overall effectiveness and leadership and management as Good.
