Hampstead Hill School Avis 

Brilliant school, with many unique features. Firstly education itself is excellent, great focus on handwriting, everyday disciple so does not feel overbearing, basic things like use of knife and fork just flow naturally, great reading programme, lovely teachers and of course very successful with leavers destinations. If you were going to dream up a school for this age group in today’s world this would pretty much cover it. There aren’t sports facilities however they use the local area well. Long terms are helpful for working parents

We could not recommend HHS more emphatically. HHS manages to do almost the impossible: it combines a rigorous, academic oriented curriculum, with a kind and attentive to the individual needs of the children education. From homework, to lessons, to pastoral support, everything is tailored to the individual child.
Our little one really flourished there and remembers it fondly.

We’ve had a wonderful experience with Hampstead Hill School. Two of my children have already been through HHS and both left happy, confident and extremely well prepared for their next schools. My youngest is now there preparing for the 7+.

The teachers are warm, nurturing and genuinely know each child, while also providing excellent academic preparation. Having experienced HHS with three very different children, I particularly value how they bring out the best in each individual child.

We have a huge amount of affection for HHS and are incredibly grateful for everything the school has given our family.

Outstanding school. Combined top academic standards with a huge amount of love and nurturing of the children. Really happy place.

I couldn’t be happier with this school. All three of my children attend, and it has been a wonderful experience for our family. The teachers are caring, dedicated, and genuinely invested in helping every child succeed, both academically and personally.

The school has a superb record of academic achievement and pastoral care, setup and run by the same family for 70+ years. I have sent two children there and they continue to thrive in their junior and secondary schools, having passed the 7+ with a choice of schools to select from. I’m impressed that they now also enable children to stay at the school until 11, giving any child who hasn’t found their chosen school at 7, the opportunity to try again for occasional places in a secure and familiar setting. The staff are lovely and the parents you meet at pickup, end up being longtime friends.

Your child could not be in better hands than with Andrea and her exceptional team. HHS is a long established school with an exceptional reputation and generations of families who all leave with an education that is second to none. We have known Andrea for 25 years and are still in regular contact. There is no better school for your child’s education.

Our daughter attended Hampstead Hill School from Reception through to the end of Year 2, and we absolutely loved our time here. Most importantly, our daughter was incredibly happy and looked forward to going in every single day.The school strikes the perfect balance between excellent academic preparation and a deeply nurturing environment. The teaching staff are fantastic and truly know how to get the best out of the children without losing that warm, supportive touch.We don’t have any other children, but if we did, we would not hesitate to send them straight to Hampstead Hill. We couldn't have asked for a better foundation for her early years education!

We feel incredibly fortunate that our daughter spent three very important years at Hampstead Hill, from the age of four to seven.

It is difficult to put into words just how grateful we are for the start in education that the school gave her. From the very beginning, we were struck by the quality of teaching and by how much she was able to achieve at such a young age. By the age of five, she was reading confidently and producing pieces of writing that genuinely amazed our friends and family. Hampstead Hill gave her not only a very strong academic foundation, but also the confidence and enthusiasm to embrace learning.

The preparation she received for the entrance examinations to other highly selective schools was exceptional. The school equipped her with the knowledge, discipline and confidence she needed, and we truly believe that her success in gaining places at the schools we had hoped for was, in no small part, thanks to the excellent foundation she received at Hampstead Hill.

What makes the school particularly special, however, is that the academic excellence is matched by genuine warmth and care. The staff are kind, thoughtful and incredibly supportive. They clearly care about the children as individuals, and the positive impact they had on our daughter will stay with her for many years to come. They also left a lasting impression on us as parents, and for that we will always be grateful.

We were also extremely appreciative of the holiday activities and programmes offered by the school. Having the option to leave our daughter in a safe and familiar environment during the holidays, with teachers she already knew and trusted, was invaluable. It gave us enormous peace of mind and, for a child of that age, provided a wonderful sense of continuity and security.

Above all, Hampstead Hill is a school where children are genuinely cared for. We always felt that our daughter was safe, happy, encouraged and known. That sense of security, combined with the exceptionally high academic standards, is what makes the school so special.

We are particularly grateful to Andrea for creating such a warm, nurturing and positive atmosphere. Her leadership has clearly shaped the wonderful sense of community within the school.

Hampstead Hill gave our daughter an outstanding start to her education, and we will always look back on our time there with enormous affection and gratitude. We would wholeheartedly recommend the school to any family looking for an academically strong, caring and genuinely special environment for their child.

We loved this pre-prep! The teachers put so much passion into every single session – you can genuinely see they truly want to teach the children, and it clearly pays off – they go on to get into the best schools! The food was great, tasty and varied. The number of teachers in each class stood out – you could tell the kids felt safe and seen.
