Dear Parent/Carer,

Year 11 students and their families are invited to attend the Hampstead School Sixth Form Open Evening on Tuesday 21st October 2025, 17:00 to 19:00.

This is an important introduction to Hampstead School Sixth Form, with information about post 16 qualifications and options, the KS5 course requirements and the Sixth Form application process. The evening will include:

• A talk at 17:00 and 18:00 to provide you with key information about our Sixth Form.

• Sixth Form subject stalls and an opportunity to meet Sixth Form teachers and students. 

• Careers advice from Ms Evans – students seeking alternatives to A Level and vocational courses can discuss college and apprenticeship opportunities, and work experience.

• An opportunity to tour the school facilities.

Our Sixth Form is popular and courses fill up quickly ­– in 2025 we enrolled a record number of students. Our students gain places on highly competitive university courses at world leading universities, and others progress to impressive apprenticeship placements. The Sixth Form was rated as ‘Good’ in our most recent Ofsted Inspection in April 2023.

We strongly recommend that students and their parents/carers attend this Sixth Form Open Evening to ensure that you are prepared for the next step after GCSEs.

Please click here to RSVP: Sixth Form Open Evening Booking Form.

Booking through Eventbrite is preferable, but if you are unable to reserve a place, please do just turn up!

We look forward to seeing you there,

Yours sincerely,

Miss E. Villegas

Director of Sixth Form

Good afternoon,

As you may have already seen in the EduLink One calendar, we are inviting all Year 7 parents/carers and students to school to meet the Year 7 tutors and learn about school reports.

The event takes place on Thursday 16th October, 5:30pm to 6:30pm.

Please ensure you arrive in time for a prompt start.

We are aware some students are having issues with their school accounts, so we will also be running drop-in sessions with members of our IT and maths teams to assist those who need help.

We look forward to seeing you there.

Hampstead School

Good morning,

This is a reminder that students will be dismissed at 14:15 tomorrow, Tuesday 7 October 2025 to allow staff time to prepare for our school open evening.

Students who are assisting with the open evening have separate arrangements, which have been communicated directly to them.

If you know anyone with a primary school-aged child who would be interested in visiting Hampstead School, we would be delighted to welcome them. Full details can be found on our website: https://www.hampsteadschool.org.uk/open-events

Kind regards,

Hampstead School

Dear Parents and Carers,  

Year 11 students will sit Pre-Public Examinations (PPEs) immediately after half-term: Monday 3rd November – Friday 7th November 2025.

The exam schedule is attached.

When not in exams, students will attend normal lessons.

Some exams run beyond the usual 3:00pm finish, reflecting summer exam arrangements.

Teachers have been preparing students with revision and exam techniques in lessons. We ask for your support in ensuring your child arrives punctually each day, as exams will begin promptly and the week is intensive.

Students should also revise independently, especially over the half-term break. Effective preparation will help maximise outcomes, inform tier entry decisions, and support predicted grades. 

About the examinations:

• They are a vital opportunity to practise formal exam conditions and assess progress ahead of the summer series.

• Standard exam regulations will apply. Students must not bring mobile phones or smartwatches into the exam hall. Pencil cases must be transparent, and water bottles must have labels removed.

• Please ensure your child has all necessary equipment: pens, pencils, ruler, and a scientific calculator.

• We are running a Positively You session for students in the week before half-term, focused on exam preparation, mind-set, and effective revision strategies.

Thank you for your continued support. 

Yours faithfully  

Ms Morrell

Assistant Head

Good morning,

A reminder that tomorrow, Thursday 11 September, is the Year 11 Information Evening at Hampstead School.

The event runs from 17:00 to 18:00.

This is an important opportunity for us to share key information with you for the year ahead, including details of Sixth Form applications.

Please ensure you arrive early for a prompt start.

Kind regards,

Hampstead School

Good afternoon Students and Parents/Carers,

Please may we ask for your cooperation in an important matter. 

Currently we have pupils that are receiving medical treatment which puts them at risk if they are exposed to measles, chicken pox or shingles. 

The best way to protect our pupils from measles is for all students at school to be immunised against measles.

Parents/Carers - Please would you discuss measles immunisation with your GP if your child has not already received it. If your child is suspected of having measles, you should let us know immediately. 

These pupils at risk from chicken pox would need to be given an injection within three days of contact to avoid serious complications. If a student is suspected of having chicken pox you should let us know immediately.

It is also important that you let us know if there is shingles in your household. 

Students are not at any risk whatsoever from this situation. However, the health and well-being of our pupils who are at risk, does depend on the co-operation of all other parents/carers and we hope you can help us. 

With many thanks,

Yours sincerely

Matt Sadler

Head
