History

Shaping children’s futures since 1976

Since our foundation in 1976, we have focused exclusively on developing young girls and boys to their best potential and launching them on a trajectory of happy, healthy and successful lives.

Herne Hill School was founded in 1976 as a nursery school and expanded in 1986, upon parents’ demand, to become a pre-preparatory school. We have been co-educational from day one as we have always believed in the merit of young boys and girls learning from and with each other.

In summer 2021, the Kindergarten moved to a new site at 99 Herne Hill, which has been comprehensively and meticulously refurbished to meet the needs of our 2- and 3-year-olds. The Kindergarten is enabling the school to provide an even better education for its children and solidifies its position at the cutting edge of Early Childhood Education.

Today, Herne Hill School is a thriving, buzzing school with approximately 300 children aged 2-7 years. The school is independently owned, with the Director and Proprietor, Mr Dominik Magyar, taking an active role in overseeing its direction since 2002. His correspondence address is the school’s address, and he can be reached by calling the school number during both term times and holidays.
