Safeguarding
Hampstead School is committed to Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all the children and young people in our care. The school recognises the vital contribution staff, volunteers and governors make to ensure that this commitment is met. We will strive to make sure that every child and young person in the school is well cared for, and able to reach their full potential.
We work hard to reduce all the kinds of harm that children can suffer, including abuse, bullying, discrimination, radicalisation and avoidable injuries. If you have any concerns at all about the safety or welfare of a child please do not hesitate to contact us.
Wellbeing
At Hampstead School we do not just teach, we shape and mould young people into the happy, stable and successful adults of the future. We are proud to be the first secondary school in London to have received the Wellbeing Award (April 2020). We are also a trailblazer school in our work on Trauma Informed Practice.
We strive to build growth mindsets within our young people, this equips with a problem-solving outlook and the confidence to make mistakes. We invest heavily in staff training to allow our staff to become experts in barriers to learning, learning differences, mental health, and modelling positive, pro-social interactions. We develop our staff, so that they can develop your children.
