Highgate School, formally Sir Roger Cholmeley's School at Highgate, is a British educational charity, founded in 1565. Its main purpose is maintaining a coeducational day-only independent school in Highgate, London, England. It educates over 1400 pupils in three sections – Highgate Pre-Preparatory School (ages 3–7), Highgate Junior School (ages 7–11) and the Senior School (11+) – which together comprise the Highgate Foundation. As part of its wider work the charity was from 2010 a founding partner of the London Academy of Excellence and it is now also the principal education sponsor of a new Academy, the London Academy of Excellence Tottenham, opening in September 2017. The principal business sponsor is Tottenham Hotspur F.C.. The charity also funds the Chrysalis Partnership, a scheme supporting 26 state schools in six London boroughs.
The Foundation is governed in accordance with a Charity Commission Scheme dated 1 September 2005 (and amended in 2014). Its governing body consists of 16 members; 4 are nominated (one each by the Universities of Oxford and London, by the Bishop of London, and by the Lord Chief Justice), and the rest are co-opted. The Visitor is Her Majesty the Queen. The Head is assisted by Principals of the pre-prep and junior schools, by deputy heads and a Bursar, in managing the Foundation. The school is a member of HMC and IAPS and is one of the twelve schools of the Eton Group.
