<p>Though the National Church Institutions are not responsible for the operation of
individual schools, the Diocese of London has volunteered the following information,
which I hope is useful.</p><p>There are two Church of England schools in the Hendon
Constituency.</p><p>St Mary’s and St John’s educates more than 1,600 pupils. One quarter
are on free school meals, which is higher than the Local Authority average. Pupils
are making above-average progress at an 8-level attainment of 0.39 compared with the
national average of -0.03.</p><p>St Paul’s School Mill Hill educates 210 pupils. One
fifth of pupils are in receipt of Free School Meals, in line with the Local Authority
average. Pupils attainment is above-average; 84% attained the expected standard in
Reading, Writing and Maths last summer compared to the national average of 60%.</p><p>I
commend the teachers and leadership teams in both schools for these achievements.</p><p>The
Church of England educates over one million children in its 4,700 schools across England.
Church Schools are committed to the flourishing of children and deliver a rounded
education that remains in high demand with parents. They serve all those in the community,
whatever their faith or belief.</p>
