What Haverstock School does

Haverstock School is a state-funded secondary school and sixth form located in Chalk Farm, Camden, London, operating as part of the multi-academy H3 Federation alongside Heath School and Harmood School. The school delivers education to students aged 11-18 across Years 7-11 (GCSE) and Years 12-13 (A Level, BTEC, and T Level), with additional provision including Additional Resource Provision (ARP), the Camden Reintegration Base (CRiB), Duke of Edinburgh's Award, and a Community Action Plan that pays Sixth Form students £1,000 to run co-curriculum clubs.

The school's technology stack is built entirely on third-party educational platforms rather than proprietary systems: Arbor for parent portal and payments, ParentPay for uniform, Google Workspace for email, Reading Cloud for the library, Testwise for online assessment, The Day for educational news, and the Kajima-operated schoolbookings.co.uk platform for venue hire. The school's 3G Astro Pitch, Sports Hall, Dance Studio, music studios and classrooms are made available for external sports, performance and event bookings through this Kajima partnership.

The business model is overwhelmingly government-funded: Haverstock receives UK education grant via Camden Local Authority and charges no tuition fees, while Kajima facility hire, the Career Ready programme (in which Haverstock is the national lead provider), corporate engagement with firms including Citibank and Morgan Stanley, and free Arts Summer Schools with Artichoke Trust provide ancillary non-grant activity. Customer acquisition is community-led — the school relies on Open Events, its website, families newsletters, and local media coverage to attract prospective Year 7 and Sixth Form applicants.
