About Highgate Pre-Preparatory School

Established in 1565, Highgate is now one of the UK’s leading co-educational independent schools, with around 1,700 pupils aged 3-18.
Highgate’s Pre-Preparatory School
Our Pre-Prep has around 150 pupils aged 3-7 and is situated in a light, airy and colourful building. We overlook the open spaces of our sports grounds and have our own playground, which was enlarged in 2016. At that time, classrooms were refurbished and enlarged, thus creating a separate music room and learning support room.
Within the classroom
Our pupils benefit from small class sizes, with teachers, qualified early-years practitioners and classroom assistants to ensure they receive individual attention and guidance. We run numerous focus weeks to encourage innovative learning and engagement, plus curricular events like Grandparents Day, Geography Day and skipping workshops.
We also have a trained Forest School leader, meaning Year 1 and 2 pupils attend our Forest School classroom, located in our grounds, on a weekly basis.
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, excellent staff and a wide range of activities available. We also encourage social responsibility through our charity work, both locally and further afield.
Pre-Prep pupils can attend a variety of clubs during lunchtime and after-school. Popular examples include Football Club, Gardening Club, Music and Drama Club, Running Club, Scooting Club, and Chess Club.
Our Pre-Prep pupils are always encouraged to think about helping charities and greater focus has been given since 2017-18 with the introduction of our charity badge scheme. This inspires our pupils to perform a range of charitable acts at home, in school and within the community. Their efforts are then recognised through an awards assembly, where they receive a badge depending on the number of kind acts they had carried out.
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.
Management
The day-to-day management of our Pre-Preparatory School is undertaken by our Principal, Ms Sally Hancock, who reports to our Head, Mr Adam Pettitt.
