Hampstead School Newsletter

Last Tuesday, we invited prospective students for next year's Year 7 cohort to attend an open event at the school with their Parents/Carers. It was wonderful coming together to showcase the best of Hampstead School and to welcome our future community – there was a real sense of possibility and excitement in the air. Most notable were our amazing student ambassadors who represent the school so confidently and enthusiastically - thank you to all who were involved.

- Matt Sadler, Head
