These schools aresome of the very best in the country. Each schoolis characterised by its broad curriculum, recordof academic achievement and rich programme ofextra-curricular activities.Since its foundation in 1872, the GDST has been atthe forefront of education for girls and a strongvoice in promoting opportunities for young women.Through Minerva Network, this continues after thegirls leave school.20 Important dates and deadlines21 How to find usThe advantages of an all-girls educationThe all girls environment is special. It provides girlswith the opportunity to explore and succeed in a widevariety of subjects and activities, through girl-centredteaching strategies and the absence of social distractionsand stereotyping. As a result, our girls leave school withconfidence and courage.1

School LifeThe curriculumIn keeping with the liberal tradition of the School, thecurriculum at South Hampstead is broad and balancedwith an emphasis on ‘active’ learning.In the Junior School, studies are broadly based andgo well beyond the National Curriculum. The girls aretaught Music, Art, Design Technology, Modern Languagesand Physical Education by specialist staff. In the finalyears at the Junior School, the majority of lessons aretaught by subject specialists.The Junior School’s subject co-ordinators liaise closelywith the Heads of Department in the Senior Schoolto ensure progression and a smooth transition atage eleven.In the Senior School, we encourage each girl tofollow her own initiative and interests within a broadframework of academic and creative studies.In Year 7, all girls study Art, Design Technology, ClassicCivilisation, Drama, English, one Modern Language,Information Technology, Mathematics, Music, PersonalSocial and Health Education (PSHE), Physical Education,Religious Studies and all three Sciences which are taughtas discrete subjects. Each girl begins Latin and a secondModern Language in Year 8.At GCSE, the compulsory subjects are English, EnglishLiterature, Geography or History, Physical Education,Mathematics, at least one Modern Foreign Language,and three Separate Sciences or Dual Award Science.Girls then choose a further two or three options froma wide range of over 10 subjects to suit their interests.These include: Art, Design and Technology, Drama,Geography, Greek, History, Latin, Music, a secondModern Foreign Language and Religious Studies. It isalso possible to work toward the European ComputerDriving Licence (ECDL).More details of the 20+ subjects available to studyat A Level are available in a separate Sixth FormProspectus.Beyond the curriculumMusic, drama, art and sport are the spirit and soul ofschool life.

Mostgirls take individual instrumental or singing lessons -collectively, the girls play 14 different instruments. Themusic programme is varied and provides somethingfor all levels of ability and musical taste with numerousgroups and ensembles. You can listen to our musicianson SHHS Radio via our website.Each girl takes to the stage in one of many of theSchool’s productions each year. Performances take placein our theatre and cover a range of genres, with someperformances staged in a modern foreign language. Inthe Junior School, some productions are written by thechildren themselves. Those girls who don’t fancy thespotlight can get involved behind the scenes writing,directing or stage managing.In art, girls are encouraged to experiment and take riskswhile working within a fine arts background. Studentswork with a range of media including textiles, sculptureand time based media - photography, film makingand animation.Design & Technology (DT) is varied and very hands-on.Our older girls are regular award-winners in a numberof competitions such as Young Inventor of the Year,Young Designer of the Year and Young Engineer ofthe Year.Evidence of the talent we have here is displayed allaround the school – paintings, sketches, photographs,sculptures and even some of the furniture in the SeniorSchool reception was created by our students.In sport, girls have the opportunity to participate in awide range of activities, both as part of a team and asan individual, during regular lessons at our four-acresports ground and in the gymnasium, or as part of ourextra-curricular programme. We currently offer a totalof 17 different sports and in excess of 40 sportingclubs across the Junior and Senior Schools. In the SeniorSchool, girls typically spend three hours a week inSport; in the Junior School, at least two hours. Specialistcoaches are used where appropriate. Our aim is tocultivate a positive attitude towards recreational andcompetitive sport, developing the skills and team spiritneeded for a lifetime enjoyment of sport.23

6Pastoral careThe happiness and wellbeing of each girl are at thecentre of all we do. Dedicated teachers work togetherto ensure each individual is happy, develops confidenceand self-esteem, as well as tolerance and respectfor others.We provide a safe and supportive environment wheregirls can learn from their mistakes and celebrate theirsuccesses. The Junior School is a nurturing place wheregirls are encouraged and rewarded with ‘positive praise’.As girls get older, they take more responsibility for theirown learning and development. In the Senior School,form tutors meet with each girl regularly to discussacademic progress and personal issues. The qualityof the relationships between the staff and pupils issomething we are particularly proud of and helps tocreate the friendly and sociable atmosphere that wehave here at South Hampstead.The School has an LDC co-ordinator for girls withlearning difficulties. The co-ordinator liaises regularlywith staff to ensure each girl has the support she needsto succeed.Peer support is developed and encouraged throughoutthe School with networks such as the Big Sister schemeat the Junior School, the House System in the SeniorSchool and School Council.In addition, each year group tackles a number ofissues appropriate to their age in weekly PSHElessons and assemblies.The School has a full time nurse and a counsellor.7Relationships with parentsWe believe that education works best when home andschool work together. Strong relationships with parentsare important to us and they play a vital part in eachgirl’s journey through the School.We keep parents up to date with school informationand their daughter’s progress through regular reports,one-to-one parents’ evenings, termly mailings and ouronline Parents Portal. The Junior School produces aweekly newsletter. Girls in the Senior School producean annual magazine. We also enjoy getting to know eachfamily through social gatherings, such as concerts, playsand sporting events. Parents are welcome to contactus at any time.We receive generous support from our parentassociations, the PTA in the Junior School and theFriends of South Hampstead (FOSH) in the SeniorSchool.
