We are the school of choice for parents in North London who share our collective belief of developing the potential in every child.
At Hendon Prep, we have been creating independent minds for almost 150 years – preparing our pupils for lives of significance at the very best senior schools in Britain since 1873.
And just like the day we welcomed our very first cohort, the Hendon Prep approach today still places each individual child at its heart – with personalised learning that sets our pupils on the path to high academic excellence.

HOW WE TEACH
We offer a stimulating and exciting curriculum in well-resourced classrooms
Lessons focus on personalised learning and are taught in small groups and delivered by subject specialists who have the direct responsibility for the teaching and learning of all children in their care.
Teaching is creative and imaginative and we set high academic expectations for all our pupils, not-withstanding that we are academically non-selective. We are experienced in planning and preparing our children for the 11+ transition to some of the most selective
senior schools.
We go beyond timetabling for core subjects by also adding enrichment programmes without sacrificing academic excellence in English, Maths and Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning. Our talented and innovative teachers challenge pupils on a daily basis, building confidence and curiosity helping them to develop a life-long love of learning.
PERSONALISED LEARNING
Preparing our pupils
Our approach is built around educating every child using a personalised learning approach which is designed to give everyone who comes to our school the care and attention they need to be happy and successful.
All our children are encouraged to take risks and to be confident independent learners.
We want our children to engage enthusiastically with knowledge and to embrace new ideas and to be intellectually stimulated and extended beyond their age.
Helping pupils fulfil their potential
Here at Hendon Prep, we value the fact that pupils bring to school different experiences and strengths that influence the way they learn.
We are committed to identifying each pupil’s individual learning needs and we offer provision that is flexible and varied to ensure that children work at age-related expectations or above and achieve their personal potential, whatever their needs and abilities.
The pursuit of the highest achievements
We believe that all children are entitled to an education that will enable them to develop to their full potential, be that intellectual, physical, aesthetic, creative, emotional, spiritual or social.
We are committed to providing a stimulating and suitably challenging curriculum for all our pupils, in the pursuit of the highest academic and pastoral achievements.
Able, gifted and talented (AG+T) pupils should be given the opportunity to access an optimal breadth and depth of learning; as such we aim to provide opportunities to develop specific skills and talents.
