A word from the Head
Excellent News! Last week I heard that TWO of our boys were successful in
gaining entry to WESTMINSTER SCHOOL. Absolutely thrilling news! In the
opinion of many including myself, this is the finest school in the United Kingdom.
It is the greatest achievement in British private education to have pupils who
gain entry here. Only 139 places were offered – and two of our boys have
places. It is proof positive that Hendon Prep provides education of the highest
calibre.
I would like to take this opportunity to pay tribute to the superb and hard
working team here at Hendon who have made these achievements possible.
I would like to warmly congratulate the two boys and their families. WELL DONE
- Well done indeed!
I am also able to give an update on all 11+ & 13+ school offers for our pupils on
11 March 2015.

The returns above represent our best results in over 20 years. The 11+/11+
pre-test results were particularly strong – a product of good teaching and
preparation.
Some of the schools that we have in the recent past had significant interest in
are;
Stowe, Haileybury, Millfield, Marlborough College, Harrow, Eton, Winchester,
Lancing, Felsted, Bedford, St Pauls, The Oratory, and other fine and reputable
schools across the UK.
Many Year 5 parents have already been in conversation with me. Parents in Year
4 will be beginning to consider their options going forward. Please do look up
some of these fine schools to see what they have to offer for your children.
Please do come forward if you wish for an informal discussion.
Mr Roberts
