Devonshire House Preparatory School is situated in the heart of Hampstead. The School has fine Victorian premises with charming grounds and walled gardens.

The youngest children, in Pre-Reception and Reception (ages 3-5), are taught at 4 Arkwright Road, in large airy classrooms. Every class has a teacher and an assistant. Children follow the Foundation Stage curriculum, but with emphasis on Literacy and Numeracy.

Junior School pupils, age 5 - 8, (Years 1 to 3), are taught just around the corner at 69 Fitzjohn's Avenue. Here they make tremendous progress, following a full curriculum, wih specialist teachers for Games, ICT, Music and French.

The Upper School pupils, age 8 -13 , (Years 4 - 8), are taught in other buildings on the Arkwright Road school site. They have a full range of specialist subject teachers, including Art , Science and Latin.  In this environment they develop the necessary knowledge and skills to pass into a large range of London Day Schools and Boarding Schools.

 We wish to inform parents that Camden Council, after a six-month review of a cross-party strategy on the School Run, has agreed to continue with the policy of reducing dispensation permits for car parking in residential areas adjacent to schools in the Borough. Camden intends to enforce this parking policy. Pay and Display bays may be available in the school vicinity, but there are very few of them. We would therefore encourage you to use alternative means of transport on your school journey whenever possible.  You may be interested to enquire about your school travel plan, which gives advice on travelling to school in a more environmentally sustainable way.”
