WELCOME TO THE NORTH BRIDGE HOUSE FAMILY OF SCHOOLS IN NORTH LONDON
At North Bridge House, we dedicate ourselves to deeply understanding each pupil as a unique individual. We believe success encompasses more than excellent academic results—it’s about each student discovering the path that aligns with their distinct talents and personality. Guided by our excellent teachers and the wealth of opportunities both within and outside the classroom, a North Bridge education helps every student achieve their full academic and personal potential, leading them on their journey to finding their True North.
OUR UNIQUE SCHOOLS
Whether you are looking for one of our vibrant campuses transitioning to Alleyn’s Regent’s Park (September 2025) or Alleyn’s Hampstead (September 2026), or are seeking our Canonbury Senior and Sixth Form (students aged 11 to 18) in leafy Islington, we offer a variety of choices. Families can benefit from the option of a stress-free all-through education or choose individually tailored preparation for the next stage of their child’s school career.
Our Regent’s Park Prep School for 4 to 13-year-olds is becoming Alleyn’s Regent’s Park this Autumn. Our Nursery, Pre-Prep and Senior School in Hampstead are transitioning to become an all-through option, complete with a Junior School in September 2026.

A celebration of bold ideas, brave expression, and incredible talent! Before the end of term Senior Hampstead hosted its annual GCSE Art Exhibition, showcasing over 100 exceptional pieces by our Fine Art, Photography, and 3D Design students. The school was transformed into a vibrant gallery space, filled with creativity, technical skill, and deeply personal work.
Each piece offered a glimpse into the imagination and identity of its artist - and we couldn’t be prouder! 🎨🖼️

Sixth Form is launching at NBH Hampstead this September, and who better to introduce it than our Head of Sixth Form, Ms Katie Harney.
From preparing students for top university destinations to helping them grow as independent thinkers, our Sixth Form is designed to be more than just the final two years of school - it’s a launchpad for life.
In this Q&A, Ms Harney shares what excites her most about shaping this new chapter, her aspirations for our founding cohort, and how our approach stands out in North London, especially as we look ahead to becoming Alleyn’s Hampstead in 2026.
✨ Tailored mentoring
📚A future-ready curriculum with stretch, support, and ambition

One of many highlights from the Summer term was our recent Adventure in Belsize Village! Our pupils took their learning beyond the classroom where they explored local shops and services as part of their learning - they spotted the post box and popped in a surprise.
The vets sparked lots of discussion about the people who help animals, and we were lucky enough to see a few pets going in and out.
At the greengrocer’s, our pupils impressed us all by choosing their own fruit or vegetables and paying at the till, just like grown-ups! It was a fantastic way to build confidence and connect with our ‘Growing & Life Cycles’ topic. A meaningful, hands-on experience that brought our classroom learning to life! 🍊💷

This is Gigi, our pupil turned Headteacher for a day! Thanks to a lucky raffle ticket at the Summer Fair, Gigi swapped the classroom for the office and took on the top job for 24 hours.
Gigi had a schedule packed with real responsibilities: co-leading assembly with Mrs Cartwright-Styles, chairing a Senior Leadership Team meeting, and handling a surprise call from Mr Jones at Senior Hampstead to discuss important school matters.
She joined staff for lunch (with a well-deserved seat at the table!) before wrapping up her big day with a handwritten letter to her parents, reflecting on everything she’d experienced.
A brilliant effort from Gigi, the school was in excellent hands! 💼✨

A few weeks on, and we’re still thinking about Prom night at NBH Hampstead. It was a well deserved celebration for a group who’ve worked incredibly hard this year.

Our Year 9 girls recently took part in three focused sessions on skincare, nutrition, and sport & exercise, focused on the physical and emotional changes of adolescence.
Led by PE teacher Miss Donnelly, Nutritionist and French teacher Ms Le Labourier, and an expert dermatologist with global skincare experience, the sessions explored:
🥗 The importance of nutrition
🏃♀️ How exercise supports wellbeing
🧴 Skincare tips tailored for teenage skin
Each hour-long session was designed to equip our students with the knowledge and confidence they need to feel their best during this transformative stage of life - it’s vital our students feel informed, supported, and confident.

Our final day of the summer term was full of celebration and a few slices of cake, of course! Each class enjoyed their own party, and we even marked a few birthdays along the way - a wonderful end to another fantastic year.
Wishing all our pupils, families, and staff a well deserved restful, sunshine-filled summer break.☀️
