At Hampstead Parochial, we strive to ensure that every child that joins us is secure and happy but more than that, we want them to enjoy learning, contributing, and achieving while they are with us. We value children of all skills and abilities and we provide an environment where they can fulfill their potential and grow into responsible, confident, and active young adults.
We offer a rich and fulfilling teaching and learning environment in the center of Hampstead, one of London’s prettiest villages a stone’s throw from both the High Street and Hampstead Underground station.
At Hampstead Parochial School, we are incredibly proud of our history and ethos as a Church of England primary school. In this section, you can read all about the ethos we hold dear, a potted history of the school, and our commitment to upholding Christian values.
Hampstead Parochial School aims:
- To do everything we can to ensure that each child has the best education possible by providing excellence in teaching and learning
- To inspire in all children a love of learning and the desire to continue to learn
- To look after the safety and well-being of our children, in mind and body, by caring for each other and learning together
- To uphold and promote Christian virtues and beliefs by maintaining daily acts of Christian worship and teaching Christian spiritual and moral values
- To respect other religions and cultures and foster good relationships within the community
Hampstead Parochial School is a Church of England Voluntary-Aided primary school that offers a distinctly Christian education in an inclusive environment where we encourage all children and young people to learn, enquire and grow.
The distinctive nature of our approach to education can be found in our explicit Christian values such as collective worship, a grounded Christian ethos, and in our Religious Education. Children and staff of all faiths and none are welcome at our school and we aim to promote understanding and tolerance between those of different faith traditions.
‘Church schools should nourish Christians in their faith, encourage those of other faiths and challenge those of no faith’
As a community, we have identified six values that are woven into the very fabric of the school which we expect all members of the school community – students, staff, governors, and clergy – to model:
- Friendship
- Compassion
- Forgiveness
- Respect
- Responsibility
- Koinonia
