Hampstead School

The Hampstead School experience embodies our values. It fosters sophisticated critical thought and an understanding of the crucial importance of effort, within a safe, ambitious, and inclusive environment. It enables learners to Think Big, Work Hard, and Be Kind.

Like the community we serve, our curriculum is diverse and creative. It grows passionate, lifelong learners, equipped with the skills, knowledge, and confidence necessary to thrive in modern society. It provides our young people with extracurricular opportunities, personalized guidance, and the necessary currency to make informed, aspirational choices about their futures.

Our curriculum celebrates what makes us different and what we have in common. An ever-developing understanding of equity, diversity, and inclusion is complemented by universally high expectations; all of our students have an entitlement to an outstanding education, personalized to their needs and relevant to their context.

Our curriculum is never finished. It grows and changes as we grow and change. It realises in students the belief that they can make a difference, and gives them the tools and the motivation to make the world a better place.

Our parents and staff, but particularly our fantastic students tell us that Hampstead School is a very special place. An unwavering focus on progress, always underpinned by the quality of relationships found in our school, has led to year-on-year improvements. Our lack of any complacency and drive to continually improve remains the single most important attribute in our determination to be a truly great school for all our learners.

At Hampstead School we firmly believe that our motto of Learning Together Achieving Together underpins our entire ethos.

Our aims at Hampstead are to...

• Nurture independence and provide the right support enabling students to develop confidence and respect.
• Actively encourage our students to take responsibility for their own learning, recognising them as individuals with their own unique skills and talents.
• Provide a diverse and rich environment in which students become independent, thoughtful and proactive about their abilities and responsible for their achievements.
• Encourage our students to develop enquiring minds and to make the most of the many opportunities we offer in school for them to develop morally, spiritually, culturally and socially.

We are passionate about learning in every sense and match our clear focus on academic excellence with a strong commitment to personal, social and emotional development. The vibrant and energetic student community is encouraged to be tolerant and respectful of others and to become responsible citizens of the wider community.
