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.

January Open Day

We would love to invite you to our Open Day on January 27th 2026 (at 2.30pm & 5pm) at our Parkhill Campus.

We believe that prospective students and parents can only really understand what makes Hampstead Fine Arts College so special by coming to visit us and experiencing our unique atmosphere for themselves.

At our Open Day you will hear in more detail about the values and vision of the College, its staff and its students, and enjoy a full tour of the College as well as the opportunity to speak to members of staff.

After this, you are welcome to book an interview with the Principal or the Head which is an opportunity to discuss subject choices in the context of each student’s personal interests and higher education goals.
