WELCOME TO HAMPSTEAD SENIOR AND SIXTH FORM
At NBH Hampstead Senior School and Sixth Form, children aged 11-18 are immersed in the widest range of subject experience, delivered by an inspiring team of teachers who are dedicated to finding and maximising the strengths of each individual. A stone’s throw from North London’s famous Hampstead High Street, we are rooted in the rich local heritage of Hampstead village and alive with a unique creative energy. Underpinning our rich curricular and extra-curricular offering, our ‘high support, low pressure’ model helps every student achieve more than they believed possible, celebrating outcomes which way surpass their academic trajectories at the point of entry.
ENRICHED AND EXPERIENTIAL
The curriculum at Hampstead Senior School is much more than a programme of study; it prioritises breadth of knowledge, diverse experience and cross-disciplinary thinking. Beyond our brilliant Visual Arts department which contributes to our culture of creativity, we embed innovative ways of doing things across the entire curriculum. Students embrace constant opportunities to present and perform, whilst enrichment activities span everything from philosophy to sustainability.
WE WOULD LOVE TO SHOW YOU AROUND
Join us at an Open Day to see the school in action, hear from the Head, and meet our brilliant staff and pupils. Private tours are available if you cannot make the next Open Day, or if you are looking for a mid-year or immediate vacancy. We are here to personalise your tour experience.

Here is some great news to start the week! As we congratulate Felix, a 2022 NBH Canonbury alumnus, who has been named Parliamentary Aide Newcomer of the Year!
Parliamentary Aides are the behind-the-scenes powerhouses in government, supporting MPs with research, policy work, and the day-to-day running of Parliament. To be recognised at this level so early in his career is an outstanding achievement, and we couldn’t be prouder.
Well done, Felix - your NBH family are cheering you on! 👏

Building on yesterday’s celebrations, our Senior Hampstead students continued the Lunar New Year festivities in their whole school assembly. Led by some of our Year 7 and Year 8 pupils, they shared their cultural traditions, followed by insights from Mr Amar’s Mandarin Enrichment sessions. The assembly wrapped up with a lively House competition quiz - congratulations to Joey, Tom, Tristan, and Miss Watson for securing 50 Metis for Fortis!
It’s been fantastic to see the celebrations across our schools, with students of all ages enjoying the festivities, getting involved, and learning more about different cultures. 🏮🐍

Our Year 6 Regent’s Park Netball A team took on a new challenge on Wednesday, as they competed in the ISA North London Netball Tournament for the very first time!
With determination and teamwork, they battled through six group stage matches, securing three impressive wins. They fought hard in the knockout stages against a strong Gatehouse School team, and while the journey ended there, their resilience and sportsmanship shone through.
A huge well done to all the players for their effort and teamwork, and a special shoutout to Camilla, who was named MVP for stepping up in Karolia’s absence! 🏆👏

Our Nursery and Pre-Prep pupils welcomed Lunar New Year with a day filled with creativity, culture, and hands-on learning. They painted cherry blossom lanterns, exploring seasonal symbolism whilst engaging their senses through textures and colours, and developing their artistic skills. Chinese glitter writing was also a highlight, offering a tactile way to refine pencil grip and fine motor coordination in a fun and interactive way. Of course, no celebration would be complete without food, our pupils enjoyed a delicious Chinese-themed lunch, eagerly tucking into noodles and learning about the significance of this important festival.
Experiencing traditions like these brings learning to life, fostering curiosity, creativity, and a deeper appreciation for different cultures. Wishing everyone a year of good fortune and happiness! 🏮✨

Our recent trip was full of ancient treasures and a touch of competition for our Senior Hampstead Year 8, 9, and 10 Classics and Latin students, as they spent the day at the @britishmuseum, immersing themselves in history beyond the classroom. The morning was spent exploring the thought-provoking Hew Locke exhibition, whilst the afternoon was dedicated to the museum’s Greek and Roman collection.
For Year 9, seeing artefacts from Roman Britain added a whole new dimension to their Latin lessons, connecting their studies to real objects from the past. Year 10 Latin students took their GCSE Roman City Life unit beyond the textbooks, examining relics that once shaped daily life. Meanwhile, our Classics students had the chance to engage directly with prescribed sources, deepening their understanding of ancient civilizations.
The day wasn’t just about observation - students put their knowledge to the test in an artefact hunt, with Jad in Year 9 emerging as the winner! Learning history is one thing, but experiencing it firsthand? That’s something else. 🏛️🔍

Year 7 at NBH is where learning comes to life. It’s the thrill of a science experiment sparking a new passion, the satisfaction of mastering an art technique, and the energy of a lively debate in languages. It’s taking learning beyond the classroom - whether that’s venturing outdoors for geography, collaborating in maths, or bringing creativity to life on stage.
We believe learning is most powerful when it’s fun, hands-on, and connected to the world around us. If you’re getting ready to join us from Year 6, we can’t wait to welcome you! Come and see what makes our Year 7 experience so special for your child. 💫
