Sir Roger Cholmeley, our Founder, was granted Letters Patent to found ‘a grammar school…for good education and instruction’. Today Highgate is a flourishing coeducational independent school which includes the Senior School for pupils aged 11-18; the Junior School for pupils aged 7-11 and the Pre-Preparatory School for pupils aged 3-7. There are currently in the region of 1,700 pupils at Highgate and the School employs approximately 550 full-time or part-time teaching and support staff.
The School is situated in one of the most attractive and sought after areas of North London, only a short journey from Central London and adjacent to Hampstead Heath. The hilltop site in Highgate Village is the historic site of the Senior School. A few hundred yards along Hampstead Lane in Bishopswood Road lie the Junior and Pre-Preparatory Schools and the extensive playing fields, adjacent to the open spaces of Kenwood and Hampstead Heath. The Northern Line underground station is a short walk away and it is four miles to Central London.

Highgate’s Junior School
Our Junior School has around 400 pupils aged 7-11 and is situated in a wonderful new building, opened in May 2017, and built to the highest specification.
Within the classroom
Our broad and creative curriculum is planned around specific learning objectives for every subject area, within each year group. We promote high levels of achievement and effort, so our pupils acquire the academic skills they need. However, we push the boundaries beyond a mere acquisition of knowledge: we want our pupils to develop the confidence to investigate and enquire, to solve problems, and to take responsibility for their learning.
We aim to enrich the learning experience of our pupils, broadening their social horizons and their cultural interests.
Beyond the classroom
Alongside their studies, Highgate pupils are offered a wide range of co-curricular activities which enhance both their childhood experience and their future aspirations. We are exceptionally fortunate when it comes to sport with extensive facilities including an indoor swimming pool, excellent staff and a wide range of activities available. We also encourage social responsibility through our charity work, both locally and further afield.
Junior School pupils attend a variety of clubs during lunchtime and after-school, while our Junior School Eco Council meets regularly to discuss activities and actions that support Highgate’s aim to be a sustainable school.
Across our Junior School, we continue to promote healthy and outdoor living, with a popular overnight camp-out in the grounds, plus a Year 6 residential trip to Wales during our Summer term during non-Covid times.
Location
Our School is situated in one of the most attractive and popular areas of North London, a short distance from central London and adjacent to Hampstead Heath. We endeavour to be a sustainable school and are well served by good public transport links.
