Tools for Success
At Hampstead School, we believe that strong routines are the foundation for success—both in the classroom and beyond. As we look forwards to next half term, we want to take a moment to highlight how simple, consistent habits can help your child thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
Our Behaviour Priorities: Right Place, Right Time, Right Thing
These three principles guide everything we do:
Right Place – Being where they need to be, whether that’s in class, assembly, or at line up.
Right Time – Arriving promptly, moving quickly between lessons, and respecting and interacting with the rhythm of the school day.
Right Thing – Acting with kindness, focus, and consideration for others.
When students follow these priorities, they build habits that support learning, respect, and personal growth. They also contribute to their own and others’ success.
Routines That Make a Difference
Here are some practical ways your child can set themselves up for success each day:
- Pack their school bag the night before with all necessary books, equipment, and homework.
- Lay out their uniform to avoid morning stress and ensure they’re dressed smartly and confidently.
- Leave home in good time to arrive by 8:35am, ready to start the day with energy and purpose.
- Keep a copy of their timetable handy—to stay organised and avoid lateness.
- Act with kindness and consideration, helping to create a positive and inclusive school environment.
Learning Beyond the Classroom
- We encourage all parents to engage with their children about their learning:
- Ask about what they’re studying and what they’re enjoying.
- Help them plan and complete their homework and celebrate their efforts.
- Talk about future goals—whether that’s college, university, apprenticeships, or careers.
- Encourage curiosity, resilience, and ambition.
Together, we can help every student become the best version of themselves—not just academically, but as confident, thoughtful young people making a positive impact in the world around them.
