Every child who put Haverstock School first was offered a place in 2026, so no distance cut-off applied: living further away did not cost a place that year.

About Haverstock School

Haverstock School is a secondary school in London, Camden, classified by the DfE as a community school. Around 909 pupils aged 11 to 18 attend the school. The school's average Attainment 8 score in the latest GCSE results was 41.5 — below the national average (national average: 46). Its Attainment 8 score has fallen by 2.7 points compared with the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of secondary schools nationally.

37% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in both English and maths, below the national average of about 45%. 64% achieved a standard pass (grade 4+) in English and maths. Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made Haverstock School their first choice was offered one of its 121 Year 7 places. After Year 11, 93% of its leavers went on to education, an apprenticeship or work that they stayed in for at least two terms. Overall pupil absence was 11.0%. There are about 12.8 pupils per teacher. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 76% of pupils have been eligible for free school meals in the last six years, compared with roughly 24% nationally — useful context when reading the results above. Haverstock School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
