South Hampstead High School

We hold a proud tradition at South Hampstead of producing alumnae whose success in the world owes much to their resilience and optimism in the face of challenges.

We’ll continue to shape a pastoral curriculum that builds these qualities, empowering students to be self-assured, self-reliant and self-reflective individuals, and adaptable to the world as it evolves around them.

Pastoral approaches such as our Positive Perspectives curriculum will aim to instil in girls the skills of self-reflection and empowerment, to help them gain the most from the experiences life will throw at them.

A continually evolving personal, social, health and economic education programme (PSHEE) and curated form-time activities will aim to encourage girls to think critically about experiences and information they encounter, and to look beyond the headlines and superficial information that is abundant in their lives. They’ll develop the ability to keep an open mind about situations, and the readiness to find solutions.

In the Junior School, where this journey begins, even our youngest girls are introduced to the language of emotional literacy. By being encouraged to name and understand their feelings they develop empathy and self-awareness, while PSHEE lessons are designed to help them navigate challenges with confidence, in a safe environment.

By embedding these skills early on and weaving resilience into every facet of school life, we make sure our girls leave us with the skills, compassion, conviction and confidence to be a force for good in the world.

“South Hampstead gave me the confidence to talk, argue, laugh and fight as an equal with some of the most brilliant minds of my generation and to believe in myself as a woman whose voice has a right to be heard.”
