Haverstock School (formerly Haverstock Comprehensive School), is a comprehensive school on Haverstock Hill in Haverstock, London, England for students aged 11 to 18. It is located opposite Chalk Farm Underground station, and bounded by Prince of Wales Road and Crogsland Road.

The school is Camden's first private finance initiative (PFI) school and underwent a £21 million re-build in 2006.[1] A 2008 Ofsted report explained how the school had many outstanding features, as well as the school being regarded good overall, with the potential to become outstanding. But in March 2017 Ofsted assessed the school as requiring improvement.

A new headteacher, James Hadley, was recruited at the start of the academic year 2017–18. Many changes were implemented with a renewed focus on academic standards and attendance, with the support of staff and students. As a result, in August 2018 Haverstock School reported the best results at both GCSE and A Level in the history of the school.

In 2018, 66% of students achieved a grade 4 (equivalent to the old C) in Maths and English – a giant leap from the previous year's 31% result. Attendance rates have also risen dramatically throughout the first year of the new leadership and systems.
