Where curiosity becomes knowledge

We believe the early years are the foundation for success and should be rich with wonder: exploring, questioning and discovering. Here, children learn not only with books and teachers, but through reconnecting with nature in exciting outdoor learning opportunities. Set beside the Hampstead Heath, children flourish in an indoor/outdoor environment where curiosity is celebrated, friendships blossom, and every child is seen, heard and valued.

High Performance Learning at Heathside

At Heathside, we embrace the High Performance Learning (HPL) philosophy, which empowers children to think, learn and behave like high performers in school and in life. We believe intelligence is not fixed but can be developed, and our teachers use evidence-based strategies to unlock every child’s potential.

Through HPL, pupils build Advanced Cognitive Performance Characteristics such as creativity, analysis, and problem-solving, while also developing Values, Attitudes and Attributes like resilience, empathy and confidence. This unique approach ensures that Heathside children not only achieve academic excellence, but also grow into curious, compassionate and capable young people, ready to thrive in any environment.
