Haverstock is a mixed, comprehensive school of over 1250 pupils. The school was re-built in 2004 and now provides state-of-the-art facilities for the students as well as for the community in a rich programme of community activities and extended services.
Haverstock is a popular school, well regarded by the local community, which continues to make significant improvement in all areas. Our exam results have continued to improve and projections for this year do the same. Attainment is now in line with national average with rates of progress significantly above the national average.
Our most recent Ofsted inspection judged us to be ‘good,’ with many areas judged as outstanding. We are now working very hard to become the outstanding school that we know we can be. We have the capacity and experience within the curriculum and want to continue to build our teaching and leadership capacity at all levels.
‘Haverstock is a good school, where attainment is rising quickly and students make good progress. It has many outstanding features, including the curriculum and the quality of care, guidance and support. Since the previous inspection, leaders have focused resolutely on improving teaching and learning in order to raise students’ attainment, especially in Maths and mathematics.‘
‘Outstanding care, guidance and support contribute greatly to students’ security, enjoyment and achievement.’
‘Students’ artistic, sporting, cultural, moral and spiritual development is outstanding.’
‘Students enjoy very harmonious relationships with each other.’
‘The headteacher and senior leadership team are passionate, determined and effective.’
