We are a happy, ambitious, high-achieving and inclusive school, reflecting the rich diversity of families in our area. I can't imagine a nicer place to work. I am proud and delighted to be the head of Muswell Hill.
At Muswell Hill, every child is encouraged to discover and nurture their interests and talents through a stimulating curriculum that has global dimensions, going beyond the basic national curriculum requirements.
We have a dynamic team of vocational teachers and teaching partners who act as exemplary role models, educating and nurturing each child, enabling them to achieve high standards of academic attainment, while enabling them to become capable, caring and confident human beings.
Alongside our hard working, dedicated and highly trained staff is a whole community of parents and carers drawn from a wide variety of backgrounds and cultures, each contributing to our learning environment and the school's creative ethos.
