Hampstead School
Hampstead School is a large comprehensive school in the London Borough of Camden, located in West Hampstead in North London.
About 1,300 students between the ages of 11 and 19 attend its lower school and sixth form college. Hampstead School's headmaster since 2020 is Matt Sadler.
The main school building on Westbere Road is one of West Hampstead's oldest buildings. It was originally the site of Haberdashers' Aske's Hampstead School after relocating from its original Hoxton premises in January 1903 and before moving in 1961 to its present location when it became Haberdashers' Aske's Boys' School, Elstree.
Hampstead School was founded as a secondary modern in 1961 and incorporated Harben Secondary Modern School in Netherwood Street, Kilburn, before becoming a comprehensive.
The main building façade still displays the old Latin motto Is est emendo; tendo quod macula iocus notitia – (in English) To correct faults, give direction and impart knowledge.
Hampstead School was awarded a 'gold star' accolade by Ofsted in 2001, which placed it within the top 6% of schools in the country. This was despite half of its 1,275 pupils speaking English as a second language and 10 per cent being refugees. Compared with similar schools, Hampstead was rated well above average for exam results and given an 'A' grade.
Some aspects of the school's performance according to Ofsted dipped after the 2005 inspection. In particular, attendance and GCSE results fell sharply in 2006. However, according to Ofsted this dip was corrected by 2008.
GCSE students sitting their examinations in 2010 achieved the school's highest key stage 4 results to date, surpassing the record set by the 2009 cohort.
