What the school says

St Anthony’s School for Boys, Hampstead combines academic rigour with an inclusive, caring approach. In terms of senior school entry, St Anthony’s is second-to-none. This is the result of effective classroom teaching combined with a wider academic culture and rigorous interview preparation. Academic success does not come at the expense of wider aspects of education, however. All pupils are valued and supported as the school’s Catholic ethos sets great value on the moral worth of each individual pupil. Music, drama, art and sport all flourish, as do lunchtime and after-school clubs and there are regular talks by external speakers.
