Hampstead School

Hampstead School is Camden’s largest maintained comprehensive School, educating around 330 students (including around 300 in our stand-alone Sixth Form). The school admits 7 forms of entry from over 70 primary schools.

Founded in 1961 as a mixed comprehensive school, Hampstead School has remained firmly committed to inclusive and nurturing education; quality of relationships based on respect and responsibility underpin all our endeavours. This is combined with a laser-like focus on the highest expectations of achievement and a belief that every student can and will achieve means that Hampstead School’s reputation for creativity and inspiration is firmly rooted in rigour. This continues to be epitomised in our motto “Learning Together Achieving Together”.

Reflecting our part of North West London, Hampstead School’s intake is predominantly from the local areas of Kilburn, West Hampstead, Cricklewood and Willesden. Our learners represent the diversity of our communities with over 70 languages spoken by our 50%+ bilingual students.

The school has heavily invested in its premises over recent years, with our modern inspiring facilities offering a vibrant and brilliantly equipped place to work and study.
