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.

Science is all about transformation!
For this year’s British Science Week theme, ‘Change and Adapt,’ our pupils have been exploring the fascinating ways living things evolve to survive in their environments. They have been learning how animals use camouflage, through disruptive colouration and disguise, to blend in and stay safe. Putting their new knowledge into action, they then hide butterflies around the Elm classroom, bringing the importance of science to life in the most exciting way! 🌿🔍

Yesterday, the iconic Alleyn’s cornflower found new roots at our Hampstead Nursery and Pre-Prep campuses!
Our Pre-Reception - Year 2 pupils teamed up across both campuses to plant their seeds side by side, marking a special occasion as we look forward to our exciting journey towards becoming Alleyn’s Hampstead Nursery and Junior School. A beautiful symbol of growth, unity, and the bright future ahead! Now we watch as these seeds, and our future, thrive! 🌱💙

We took learning to the high seas, as Year 9 spent the day aboard the Fortescue Green Pioneer Vessel in Canary Wharf, a dual-fuel ammonia-powered vessel on tour all the way from Singapore.
Aboard the vessel, our students had the unique opportunity to explore key areas, including the ammonia power system, engine room, and bridge. They were guided by the Chief Engineer, Chief Officer, and other staff, gaining invaluable insights into sustainable maritime practices. They also took part in hands-on sustainability challenges and first aid training on the main deck, and participated in a CPR workshop led by Atlantic Pacific International Rescue.
The Green Pioneer isn’t just a vessel, it’s a floating hub of innovation, demonstrating how sustainable solutions can be woven into everyday life at sea. And experiences like this highlight why sustainability isn’t just a concept, it’s a responsibility. Understanding it in action is the first step towards making a real impact. Not your average school day, but definitely one to remember! We were one of only a few schools to tour the vessel, making this an exciting opportunity for our students. ⛴️

We had the most magical time celebrating World Book Day at Nursery and Pre-Prep today!
The sun was shining, and our little ones brought their favourite book characters to life with the most adorable costumes. Pre-Prep’s Costume Parade was full of creativity and excitement, whilst Nursery dressed up and even got creative making their own bookmarks. A perfect day to celebrate the joy of reading and storytelling.
What’s your favourite story? 📚

With the sun making a lovely appearance, our Pre-prep pupils had an exciting day at @zsllondonzoo last week for their transition event, getting to know their future teachers from @nbhregentspark and preparing for their next big adventure this September!
With a scavenger hunt to complete and plenty of incredible animals to see, the trip was a great way to learn, explore, and start feeling at home with some familiar faces from their new school.
We loved seeing their curiosity and confidence grow - September can’t come soon enough! 💛

We are thrilled to announce that North Bridge House Regent’s Park will be joining the Alleyn’s Schools Group, becoming Alleyn’s Regent’s Park in September 2025. Following this, Hampstead will join the Alleyn’s family in September 2026. This exciting development, through @cognitaschools, marks the first time since 1619 that Alleyn’s renowned excellence will extend beyond Dulwich.
We are two schools closely aligned in our aim to offer a truly holistic education, bringing together academic study, co-curricular activities, and pastoral care so that every pupil can be “all they can be”: kind, happy, inspired, and ready to make a meaningful impact on the world. Our partnership blends the strengths of both institutions, equipping our communities with a holistic Alleyn’s curriculum that focuses on leadership, growth, and character development.
The synergy between North Bridge House’s motto, “Find Your True North,” and Alleyn’s “All We Can Be” reflects our shared commitment to creativity, individualism, and sustainability on every child’s journey. Together, we will provide a world-class education where every student thrives academically and personally. Welcome to @AlleynsRegentsPark!

Whilst on our Dubai Sports Tour, we swapped the pitches and courts for sand dunes on an unforgettable desert safari. Think high-speed dune bashing, sand-boarding wipeouts, and camel rides with some very relaxed new friends. Some of our students even had a close encounter with a majestic eagle, under the watchful eye of its keeper, of course!
As the sun set, our Canonbury and Senior Hampstead students kicked back with a BBQ feast, rounding off the night with a belly dancing show. From start to finish, it was an experience to remember - Dubai, you did not disappoint! 🇦🇪🐫🏜️

Our Year 7 students have now fully settled into life at Canonbury, making it the perfect time to hear their thoughts on navigating new subjects, routines, and opportunities with confidence. We asked them about the highlights of their journey so far - what they’ve been enjoying the most, which subjects have sparked their interest, and how Canonbury compares to their previous schools.
Hear their thoughts in their own words!
