Hampstead Parochial Church of England Primary School

As a primary Church of England school, Hampstead Parochial School is proud of its heritage and Christian culture.
You can learn about the school's mission, a brief history of the institution, and our dedication to sustaining Christian principles in this part.
The Sunday School of St. John-at-Hampstead served as the foundation for Thomas Mitchell (1751-1799), who established Hampstead Parochial Church of England Primary School in 1787.
Even though the buildings are Victorian, the current Hampstead Parochial School is a cutting-edge, innovative, and modern primary school with learning at its core.
For the children of Hampstead, the founders of Hampstead Parochial School aimed to offer a unique and inclusive education.

Joshua Watson, a prominent High Church party member and wine merchant, formed the "National Society for Promoting the Education of the Poor in the Principles of the Established Church in England and Wales" (also known as the National Society) on October 16, 1811. Watson was also a philanthropist.
Church of England schools were started by parishes to help the poorest kids and are largely for the communities in which they are located.
They are all-inclusive and provide services to people of all religions, including atheists, people of other faiths, and Christians.
To make it possible for everyone in our community to thrive and experience a life rooted in Christian principles, a passion for study, and a desire to improve the world as a whole.
Our vision is supported by four pillars that work together with our six basic Christian Values (forgiveness, responsibility, koinonia, friendship, compassion and respect).
We encourage all children and young people to study, inquire, and grow at Hampstead Parochial School, a Church of England Voluntary-Aided primary school that provides a distinctly Christian education in an inclusive setting.
Our school welcomes students and employees of all religions and none, and we strive to advance tolerance and understanding among people of diverse religious backgrounds. "Church schools should strengthen Christians in their religion, uplift people of other faiths, and confront people of no faith," according to this statement.
You might not be familiar with the word "koinonia" right away.
It outlines the idealised condition of communion and harmony that the Christian Church ought to experience.
Our school's community gathers for communal worship each day.
Since we are a Church of England school, Christianity and our core Christian beliefs are at the centre of our communal worship.
Children are encouraged to view communal worship as a time of respectful reflection and to join in singing and praying while remaining quiet and thoughtful.
Children who exhibit our basic Christian principles are recognised with special commendation from the headteacher.
Clergy Assembly is the name of the worship service on Thursday that is led by a priest from St. John-at-Hampstead.
We invite parents and carers to join us at St. John-at-Hampstead Parish Church or at the school.
We always invite parents and carers to join us at worship.
Even though Hampstead Parochial is a Church of England institution, we are dedicated to respecting everyone's personal convictions.
We as a school community value and celebrate the cultural diversity of all of our students.
The diversity of religious practises that are represented in our school and the larger community are respected and acknowledged, even though group worship will always reflect the Christian ethos of our school.
Parents and carers are informed of the Christian foundation of our instruction as soon as they enter the school.
Therefore, it is doubtful that parents or other carers would choose to use their legal right to withdraw.
However, if such a situation occurs, the worried parents or carers should speak with the head teacher.
