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.
