Introduction

 

This prospectus aims to give a good picture of Devonshire House and to explain the purpose and character of the School. However, nothing shows the School more clearly than a visit, and all parents considering Devonshire House are most welcome to come and see the School with the children at work and play.

Devonshire House provides excellent education from the Nursery Year through to the Common Entrance examination for senior schools. It is a safe, warm and happy place, providing interest, challenge, encouragement and understanding at every stage. The School pursues high academic standards, whilst developing enthusiasm, initiative and a strong sense of personal responsibility. It is through these things that good self-esteem and confidence are built and it is with these that come generosity of spirit and fulfilment in life.

Devonshire House nurtures work in the traditional subjects, but also provides a wide range of opportunities to help foster a variety of talents, enabling all children to develop their own personalities and interests and giving each the chance to excel. The School provides a full and well rounded education. Particular importance is placed on individual attention for each child. Excellent results are achieved in academic work, in senior school examinations and scholarships, and in the wide breadth of endeavours and creative work that make up the rich life of the School.

Situated in the heart of Hampstead, on the crest of the hill running into Hampstead Village, Devonshire House has fine houses with charming grounds and walled gardens.
