The best pre-prep in North London. Wonderful teachers, low turnover - many of them have been there for 10-15+ years. Kids consistently go off to Westminster, St Paul, City of London, UCS, Highgate and... See more

Fantastic school—highly recommended!

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

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.
