A very big thank you to students, parents and staff we raised £4,032 for Crisis at Christmas. We exceeded our target of £3000.

The money raised would have helped 139 homeless people this Christmas receive hot meals, and health and dental checks. It will also have introduced them to education, training and support to help end their homelessness for good.

Enrichment Talk by John Sauven

As part of our ongoing Enrichment talks we were delighted to welcome John Sauven the Director of Greenpeace to discuss our impact on the environment and how we can reduce our carbon footprint.

Independent Schools Show 2019

Hampstead Fine Arts College exhibited at this years Independent Schools Show. The day was a success and was a great chance for us to meet a wide range of people to promote the college to prospective students and parents. We look forward to exhibiting at the 2020 show.

Our year 9s took a trip to the Barbican to see the ‘Living Colour’ exhibition, which celebrates the work and life of Lee Krasner, pioneer of Abstract Expressionism. Lee once said, “I like a canvas to breathe and be alive. Be alive is the point.”. This is the first major presentation of her work in Europe for more than 50 years.

Our annual Summer Exhibition opened with a screening of short films by the Film Studies students, which was held at the Everyman Cinema in Belsize Park. Following this, drinks and canapés were served in the sunny courtyard, accompanied by a variety of performances from the music students. The photography students’ work was displayed around the college, and an art exhibition was held in the hall, exhibiting the art students final pieces.

An awards ceremony was held in the courtyard marquee, and prizes were given out by the principal to students who were nominated by tutors for contribution to the college, and academic achievements. The Fashion and Textiles students held a fashion show, with their pieces modelled on a red carpet catwalk in the courtyard. It was a fantastic showcasing of our students’ talents and with the weather on our side, and the music and bubbly flowing, it was a joyous day.

Yesterday, our Lower Sixth History of Art, and English Literature students took a day trip to the Royal Pavilion in Brighton, built as a seaside pleasure palace for King George IV.An exotic palace in the centre of Brighton with a colourful history. An exotic palace with a colourful history, this is one of the buildings which students have already studied on their ‘Identities’ unit and the trip reinforced their knowledge and awareness of context.

Our Lower School are spending three days in the Lake District, visiting place such as Beatrix Potter’s House, the Lakes Aquarium and the Lakeside & Haverthwaite Railway. Activities include a cruise on Lake Windermere, and a treetop treck.
