WELCOME TO THE NORTH BRIDGE HOUSE FAMILY OF SCHOOLS IN NORTH LONDON

This morning, we came together for a special Hello Yellow assembly, inspired by the YoungMinds campaign, to celebrate World Mental Health Day and support children and young people’s well-being.

Our students reflected on what mental health means, acknowledging that it’s normal to have both good and bad days. They explored how talking openly about feelings can break down stigma, and shared thoughtful ways to support themselves and each other through listening, checking in, showing kindness, and asking for help, which is a true sign of strength.

We’re also thrilled to share that, thanks to our students, staff, and families, we’ve raised a total of £3,719.80 for @youngmindsuk! 👏

Let’s make every day a ‘yellow day’ in spirit: full of kindness, empathy, and connection. 💛

We are thrilled to share that NBH Hampstead Nursery and Pre-Prep recently received a glowing ISI inspection report, and we couldn’t be prouder!

Inspectors highlighted our exceptional academic provision, identifying the quality of language teaching as a significant strength, something we are incredibly proud of. They also confirmed we are fully compliant in all areas, a reflection of the care, dedication, and professionalism across our whole community.

A huge well done to our staff and pupils for their hard work and commitment, and a heartfelt thank you to our wonderful parents for your continued support - together, you make our school the special place it is.

Celebrating a fantastic win with our U13 boys!

In the first round of the ISFA Bowl, our boys faced a tough Radnor House, Twickenham side. Falling 1–0 behind could have knocked their confidence, but instead, they showed real grit, perseverance and determination to fight back and level the score at 1-1.

With everything to play for, it all came down to a nail-biting penalty shootout… and the boys held their nerve brilliantly to claim victory!

A fantastic display of teamwork, resilience and self-belief. Well done, boys! 👏⚽

Reception had a very special visit this week!

As part of our People Who Help Us topic, three local police officers came to speak with The Maples and The Larches about their important role in keeping our community safe. Our pupils learned how to identify strangers, what to do if they get lost, and explored the special equipment officers use - even trying on police hats and seeing the torches used during night patrols.

Throughout the session, our pupils were highly engaged, asking thoughtful questions and showing a growing understanding of safety, community roles, and how to seek help in unfamiliar situations. The excitement didn’t stop there, the visit has inspired continued interest, with them already weaving what they learned into role play and free play conversations. 👮🎩🔦

What will the world look like in 50 years? Our Sixth Form students explored this question during a thought-provoking trip to the Barbican…

They watched 2073, directed by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Asif Kapadia, followed by an insightful discussion with Kapadia and investigative journalist Carole Cadwalladr. Together, they explored the film’s vision of a dystopian future and considered how we might shape a better tomorrow.

The experience linked directly to the students’ study of the Dystopian literary genre in English Literature A Level, while also offering valuable perspectives on politics and current affairs.

A special highlight for Amaya and Chloe was the chance to meet the director in person after the talk.
