About Henrietta Barnett School

The Henrietta Barnett School is a selective girls' grammar in Hampstead Garden Suburb where intellectual curiosity thrives. Pupils here are genuinely enthusiastic learners who relish academic challenge, with particular strengths in classics, history, English and art — the school even offers Latin and ancient Greek. The focus on building character through debate and reasoning gives students remarkable confidence, while an impressive extra-curricular programme includes everything from symphony orchestra to engineering clubs. This is an inclusive community where students support one another, bullying is extremely rare, and many go on to study at leading universities.
