A warm welcome to Hampstead School
We
pride ourselves on our reputation as an inclusive, high
achieving, progressive school with high expectations of
our students, a culture of success, hard work and innovative
teaching and learning practices. Students are encouraged
to enjoy learning and to succeed in a wide range of academic,
cultural, social, and sporting opportunities provided by
a committed and caring staff, who themselves enjoy being
part of the school.
Our specialist status as a Technology College underpins our dynamic approach to teaching and learning. We integrate ICT fully into the curriculum, with students using new technologies to enhance learning within all their subjects. This ensures they leave Hampstead School as confident, able young adults, fully equipped with the skills required to respond effectively to the professional world, whatever path they follow when they leave school.
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.
We believe in nurturing ambition and creativity and welcome students from across the full range of ability, celebrating the diverse cultural heritage of our community.
Our staff is committed and enthusiastic and expect the same from the students in their attitude to learning and in their exemplary behaviour. Bullying is not tolerated. We want every student to achieve a personal best and provide a safe, secure and positive environment to enable this.
We are very proud that the majority of our students continue their post-16 learning with us at the Hampstead Sixth Form, making the most of the excellent resources that we offer.
