We are very proud of our school and we hope that our website gives you a flavour of what makes us so special. West Hampstead Primary School has launched a new fundraising initiative called Together We Run .
This collaborative effort with the Parent-Staff Association aims to raise vital funds for the much-needed redevelopment of the Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 playground, aiming to achieve this by Summer 2026. However, to make this dream a reality, the school is calling on the local community for support!
