We are a School whose charitable ethos is an inextricable part of both staff and pupil DNA. Highgate doesn’t exist in a bubble, but is connected to, and part of, a community. We have partnerships with over 60 state Schools across 7 London boroughs, and, in 2017, Headteacher Adam Pettitt co-founded the free sixth form college, The London Academy of Excellence in Tottenham (LAET), with Tottenham Hotspur Football Club as business sponsors.

Highgate is Here

In the first few weeks of the Spring 2020 lockdown, the School’s Community Partnerships and Development Offices received numerous requests for help and offers of assistance. As a result, Highgate is Here was formed, with the following key objectives in mind: 

• To co-ordinate all charity, community and partnership teaching activities across Highgate School specifically as they relate to Covid-19 in the first instance;
• To ensure that the School’s response to the Covid-19 crisis is in line with its existing strategic objectives and Aims and Ethos; 
• To maximise the School’s impact in its charitable and community activities. 

Working with us

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.

Working at Highgate offers the opportunity to be part of a vibrant and welcoming community, committed to academic excellence and the highest standards of pastoral care for its pupils. The Governors consider the development of excellence in the education offered to the pupils to be the underlying purpose of activities undertaken by all staff.
