This is a sponsored article on behalf of Alleyn's Hampstead and Alleyn's Regent's Park.
Considering private education options for your child? If you live north of the river, there are two new independent schools you should know about: Alleyn's Hampstead and Alleyn's Regent's Park.
These co-educational day schools share a holistic approach to education, meaning that emotional and academic development are seen as parallel (rather than competing) priorities. Here, a well-rounded curriculum — one which prioritises practical skills and tech confidence as well as academic rigour — meets proactive pastoral care and a rich programme of co-curricular activities.
An intro to Alleyn's
You might already be familiar with the Alleyn's name... Alleyn's School in Dulwich dates all the way back to 1619, when it was established as part of Edward Alleyn's College of God's Gift charitable foundation. Today, it's a co-ed independent school with a longstanding commitment to a values-led education, prioritising respect, opportunity, curiosity, courage and kindness (the Alleyn's ROCCK).
Last September, the same values were brought to its first north London school: Alleyn's Regent's Park, which caters for pupils aged 3 to 11. The growth of Alleyn's School Group continues this September, when Alleyn's Hampstead opens its doors to pupils aged 2-18.
The ethos
Alleyn's Hampstead and Alleyn's Regent's Park share an ethos of 'All We Can Be' — helping young people to reach their full potential in all aspects of life.
The schools support their pupils to be kind, happy and inspired through Alleyn's Emotional Quotient (AEQ) — its robust pastoral care programme — and Alleyn’s Intelligence Quotient (AiQ), a broad, interdisciplinary and forward-thinking curriculum which cultivates intellectual skills alongside tech fluency. They also encourage pupils to 'find their thing', through an extensive co-curricular offering, with activities spanning the performing arts, sport, debate, adventure education and more.
The schools
You'll find Alleyn's Regent's Park on the doorstep of — surprise, surprise — Regent's Park and London Zoo. It's housed in a beautiful former convent, which has undergone a multi-million-pound build and refurbishment programme. Alleyn's Regent's Park boasts a new dining facility, a dance studio and a dedicated wellbeing space. Other notable facilities include Alleyn's state-of-the-art AiQ hub, All Well, and The Bear Pit — a beautiful former chapel now used a space for the performing arts.
Alleyn's Hampstead, meanwhile, is split into three purpose-designed campuses in — you guessed it — Hampstead. There's the nursery & junior school, the senior school, and a sixth form. Each site is dedicated to a specific phase of a child’s education, to help your child thrive at every stage of their development.
