Mixed ability schools, North Bridge House Nursery and Pre-Prep are particularly high-achieving, with overall standards of reading, writing and maths well above average. Children naturally progress from Nursery to Pre-Prep at the end of Reception (age 5), where the curriculum is built entirely around Key Stage 1 and prepares children for our highly successful Prep School without the added pressure of 7+ entrance exams.

To track pupil progress in a stress-free environment, we use the progress test series provided by the leading provider of formative assessments to schools in the UK, GL Assessment. This determines an age-standardised score (SAS) for KS1 pupils, taking into account each pupil’s age in years and months and giving an indication of how NBH pupils are performing relative to the national average.
