Impact Statement

Senior School

Debating – we have set up in partnership with 5 local state schools a North London debating hub. This was supported by the English-Speaking Union who provided training for teachers and students and came to judge the inaugural competition for our local league. The league is now set up and we have a regular pattern of fixtures. Over 70 state school students have benefited from this project and we fully expect it to continue successfully and for more schools to join us. The teachers have contacted us to say how much confidence the scheme has given their students and some of them are now also entering national level debating competitions. This has been a genuine partnership because our pupils have also greatly benefited from having more frequent competitions. What we are trying to do for debating is what schools often do for sport – i.e. put on regular fixtures against other schools.

Partnership with Eastbury Community School in Barking – we continue to work in partnership with this 4-18 comprehensive school in Barking. We held our inaugural joint event in the town hall in Barking in November – the concert involved 100 students, split evenly across South Hampstead High and Eastbury. The event consisted of songs and readings and speeches to celebrate 100 years of women’s suffrage. The mayor of Barking and other dignatories attended. The impact on the students was the ability to rehearse and perform in a professional theatre with students from another school. We have also worked at Sixth Form level with the school and supported them in preparing students for applications to Russell Group and Oxbridge.

We provided four week-ends of Maths enrichment activities to pupils in 10 local primary schools called ‘Mathletics’. Approximately 30 pupils were involved in the scheme. We provided extension activities for Gifted mathematicians whom teachers were not fully able to cater for within school time. We wrote the course ourselves, provided 10 teachers each week as well as 6-10 Sixth Form students. The impact on the students was exposure to areas of Maths they had never encountered before e.g. code breaking, development of problem solving skills and increased motivation in lessons, as reported by teachers at the schools.

Spear is a charity which provide vital employment skills for NEETs. Some of our sixth form students have been volunteering on a weekly basis working with and supporting the Spear training as well as organising fundraising events to support the charity.
18 Spear trainees have been impacted during our partnership with Spear with about another 18 being added to that number by 31st January 2019.


Junior School

1. The Junior School have supported a primary school in developing their curriculum. This involved sharing our schemes of work and talking with the Head about how our approach was developed. As a result of this work, the state school involved, introduced a new curriculum overview and revamped their scheme of work.

2. Author talks – we invited three state schools to join us for two different author talks over the period of the year. They feedback that the talks really helped their pupils be inspired to write and read books by the author.

We award a number of scholarships and bursaries for 11+ and 16+ entry.

Bursaries take into account the family's income and financial resources and may be worth up to 100% of the school fees.

Scholarships are based on exceptional merit in a number of fields – Academic, Art, Drama, Music and Sport.

Art and Drama Scholarships are awarded at Sixth Form entry only; Sport Scholarships are available for 11+ entry only.
