Sarum Hall School is an independent day school for girls aged 3 to 11, situated in Belsize Park, London. Founded in 1929, the school has, since 1995, been housed in new purpose-built premises which provide excellent, spacious facilities. Girls are prepared for senior London day schools and for 11+ Common Entrance. Girls entering at age 3 are not assessed, but those joining from Year 1 are tested in English and Maths. The school is ambitious for its girls and believes that in a caring, supportive and imaginative environment, every girl can achieve her potential. They are encouraged to develop a love and interest of learning for itself and awareness that their success in all fields is dependent on their own efforts. Consequently the school has a well-established record of scholarship and examination success. Destination schools include Channing, Cheltenham Ladies’ College, City of London School for Girls, Downe House, Francis Holland, Highgate, North London Collegiate, Queen’s College, Queenswood, South Hampstead High School, St Paul’s Girls and Wycombe Abbey. A broad curriculum is followed and a major investment in IT ensures that each girl has access to the latest technology. French is taught from Reception and Mandarin from Year 4, and a comprehensive games programme, which takes place on site, ensures that girls have the opportunity to experience a variety of sports. Strong emphasis is placed on music, art, design and drama.
