About Herne Hill School
Herne Hill School is a well-established independent Pre-Preparatory and Pre-School in South London. It is the largest stand-alone independent school in the country focusing exclusively on Early Childhood Education for two-year-olds through to Year 2.
Since its foundation in 1976, it has had only one purpose: providing young children with the best possible start for a successful and balanced academic life. There are about 300 pupils on roll, split into the Kindergarten at our new, dedicated and state-of-the art site at 99 Herne Hill, which then feeds into Pre-Reception, Reception, Year 1 and ultimately Year 2 classes at our main site at 127 Herne Hill.
There are approximately 70 staff members (about 25 teachers and peripatetic instructors, 40 teaching assistants and five support staff), who are overseen by the Headteacher, Ngaire Telford, and the Director/Proprietor, Dominik Magyar. Everyone works towards fulfilling our common purpose:
“At Herne Hill School, we prepare young children for life …
by providing the finest individual education …
… based on a bedrock of love and care.”
The school’s ethos of Love ∙ Care ∙ Excellence encapsulates our commitment to excellence and our belief that love and care are prerequisites for a top-quality education. The school’s atmosphere lives this philosophy. It is a caring, friendly, fun, supportive and well-resourced environment conducive to optimal learning and development.
Our website and the last ISI inspection report, which can also be found there, provide a good overview of our values, approach to teaching and learning and modus operandi.
Candidates who would like to see more detailed information on the school’s provision and daily life can email our Registrar Catherine Ross at enquiries@hernehillschool.co.uk to request access to the password-protected Prospective Parent Area on our website.
