EduLink One Launch - Monday 17th March 2025

Hampstead School is launching a new parent portal called EduLink One on Monday, 17th March 2025.

This portal will make communication between the school and parents/carers easier, making it easier for you to stay informed about your child's education.

With your EduLink One account, you will be able to: 

  • See your child’s timetable, Teams homework, and reports 
  • Receive and store school notices, newsletters, and communications 
  • Update your personal details
  • Access the school calendar 
  • And More! We will be expanding the features available after this initial introduction, so stay tuned for more updates.

Next Steps:

  • On Monday, all parents/carers will receive an email from EduLink One with a link to create your account. We kindly ask you to complete the sign-up process as soon as possible to ensure a seamless transition.

We are excited about this launch and believe it will make understanding your child’s schooling simpler and more comprehensive. Should you have any questions or if you do not receive your account details by the launch date, please contact our Admissions team by calling 0207 794 8133, option 3, or emailing admissions@hampsteadschool.org.uk.

Thank you for your cooperation and support. We are confident that EduLink One will greatly benefit our school community.

Upcoming Event! Science of Surgery, Friday 11th April, 11am-4pm

Want to do something fun, free, and family-friendly over the Easter holidays? Then make sure you visit the UCL Hawkes Institute annual science fair, Science of Surgery.

On Friday 11th April, 11am-4pm, UCL scientists and staff will lead hands-on demonstrations to children and adults, showcasing the cutting-edge medical research that they are working on. Use a medical ultrasound scanner, try simulated keyhole surgery, and go on behind-the-scenes tours of their labs to see robot surgeons.

Careers Fair

We are delighted to share the success of our recent careers fair, on the 6th March, which offered our students a remarkable array of opportunities and insights into various career paths. This event was a testament to the diverse range of options available to our students, sparking enthusiasm and inspiration as they explore their future possibilities.

Students had the chance to engage in meaningful conversations with representatives from over 40 institutions, including the Savoy Hotel, the University of Oxford, Santander Corporate & Investment Banking, ASK Apprenticeships, Maclaren Construction and The British Army, alongside some fantastic community connections.

All the institutions commented on the fantastic questions they were asked by our students, and how engaged they all were in discussions of their futures. We wanted to share a couple of highlights:

Oxford University: “I had steady stream of students visiting the Oxford stall across the course of the day who were all engaged and ready to ask thoughtful and interesting questions. It is particularly rare to have students as young as KS3 so engaged and excited to talk about the prospect of university, so this was lovely to see.”

London’s Air Ambulance Charity: “The students I spoke to were all polite and engaged; they had clearly been well prepared to make the most of the opportunity to meet a wide range of people and organisations. It is always a pleasure to visit Hampstead School.”

The careers fair highlighted the vast spectrum of opportunities available to our students, from higher education to apprenticeships, corporate careers to creative industries, and much more. It was an enriching experience that broadened their horizons and helped them envision their future paths.

We are extremely proud of the way our students approached this opportunity and made the most of the diverse options presented to them.

Grimshaw Architects

A group of year 10 Art & DT students visited the Grimshaw Architects practice in Farringdon last week to attend a series of workshops on Careers in Architecture and the built environment. 

Students met with a range of employees: architects to model makers, interior designers to virtual reality programmers.

It was fascinating to hear what a team effort architecture is!
