Why Choose Fine Arts

At Hampstead Fine Arts College we have a distinctive educational ethos within a welcoming, collaborative college. We know our students as individuals which is particularly important in encouraging and supporting them. We closely monitor progress and encourage self-discipline and self-motivation: the informal nature of relationships between staff and students strengthens high expectations and a rigorous approach to work. Lessons challenge students to engage in discussion and debate so they become inquiring critical thinkers and independent learners.

Students have a personal tutor who monitors their progress in all subjects helped by fortnightly reports from subject tutors. These are discussed in weekly tutorial sessions. The personal tutor looks after the welfare of their students and reports any concerns to our strong pastoral team, led by the Deputy Head (Pastoral).

Hampstead Fine Arts College is in an ideal environment in England’s Lane, a relaxed setting for students to socialise with its abundance of cafes and restaurants. We are a short walk from Belsize Park, Chalk Farm and Swiss Cottage underground stations, with easy access to London’s museums, galleries, and theatres.

The Opening of 'The Law Theatre' by Jude Law

The Law Theatre is located in the college’s second campus on Parkhill Road, Belsize Park, which opened in September. It provides lecture rooms and classrooms as well as spaces for the performing arts, fine art, science, music and music tech and a flexible outdoor space.

The college’s 120-seat auditorium was opened by Jude Law on Saturday 15th November at a special gala performance of ‘The Watsons’, a play by Laura Wade, with musical performances by College bands and the choir.

“Jude has been a strong supporter of the college since his two sons, Raff and Rudy, attended the college for A-level. He has always been incredibly generous with his time, providing inspiration to our performing arts students and giving enrichment talks to young people interested in following his footsteps onto the stage and in film.”
