As the new Executive Headteacher, I'm delighted to welcome you to Haverstock School. When I joined Haverstock at the start of this year, I was immediately impressed by its warm and welcoming atmosphere. Staff and students talk to each other with respect and kindness.
We place great emphasis on treating everyone equally, to create an environment that is calm and friendly for all. I was also very pleased to see the exceptionally high quality of teaching. Haverstock's curriculum is broad and relevant, and lessons are fresh and exciting. Our team of teaching staff has a great blend of energy, enthusiasm and experience.
Student behaviour is another outstanding aspect I found at Haverstock: our students love to learn. Clear behaviour policies are applied with kindness, and the students rise to meet our high expectations. C lassrooms are disruption-free, giving every child a calm learning environment that allows them to focus and excel.
Our bright, modern building has wonderful facilities for sports, music, drama and art. And our Co-curricular programme of over 70 weekly clubs and activities is second-to-none.
