Heathside School Hampstead is a vibrant and nurturing school for children from age 2, set in historic buildings in the heart of Hampstead. Heathside’s dynamic environment helps children learn and thrive just a few minutes’ walk from Hampstead Heath, where they play every day.

Our happy, friendly, and academic school is known for putting children at the heart of everything we do. It is a safe, secure and supportive environment for children, staff and visitors alike and promotes a climate where children learn well and feel comfortable and confident to be themselves.

Heathside’s friendly and welcoming nursery cares for children from age 2 and children can join throughout the school year.

Preparation for senior school

11+

We provide in-depth preparation for the 11+ school entrance exams including early morning classes, holiday classes and extensive guidance for parents.  Over 25 years, Heathside has built an excellent reputation for helping children succeed at 11+ and supporting families to find the school that is right for their child.

13+

Children sitting 13+ exams stay at Heathside until the end of Year 8, allowing them two more years to mature and develop their passions. Our 13+ Prometheans group provides academic stimulus and broadens pupils’ horizons before they take up their 13+ places at a range of excellent schools.
