WELCOME TO REGENT'S PARK PREPARATORY SCHOOL
North Bridge House Regent’s Park is becoming Alleyn’s Regent’s Park.
Find us at the edge of Regent’s Park – our very own London playground – where academic challenge meets a supportive school community. As we transition to Alleyn’s Regent’s Park, we remain committed to a knowledge-rich and purposeful curriculum, ensuring children aged 4-13 achieve top-tier academic outcomes. With a wealth of character-building experiences beyond the classroom and compassionate staff guiding every child’s individual journey, we continue to provide outstanding preparation for future success.
BESPOKE PREPARATION FOR FUTURE PATHWAYS
From a nurturing start to school life in The Nest, through an increasingly rigorous, specialist taught curriculum (incorporating everything from Mandarin to Politics, Philosophy and Economics), we thoroughly prepare pupils for the senior school best suited to their individual strengths and interests – expertly facilitating all 11+, 13+, or through school journeys.
MORE THAN JUST AN EDUCATION
With enriching co-curricular initiatives such as the ACE Programme and the Orchestra Project, close to 40 extra-curricular clubs, and an ISI (Independent Schools Inspectorate) commended programme of trips, we offer pupils a wholly inspiring experience, with constant opportunities to excel and find their own ‘True North’.
WE WOULD LOVE TO SHOW YOU AROUND
Join us at an Open Day to see the school in action, hear from the Head, and meet our brilliant staff and pupils. As we transition to Alleyn’s Regent’s Park, this is a great opportunity to learn more about our exciting next chapter. Private tours are available if you cannot attend an Open Morning or if you are looking for a mid-year or immediate vacancy.
We are here to personalise your tour experience.
Join us at our next Open Morning:
Saturday 27th September, 9:30am

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.

Last Friday, our Global Be Well Day was filled with lots of fun, connection, and creativity!
Our Pre-Nursery and Nursery pupils explored a sensory play area, discovering new textures and experiences, while Years 1 and 2 crafted friendship bracelets, celebrating the joy of teamwork. Pupils also took part in a thoughtful activity where they picked partners and shared compliments, highlighting the qualities they admired in each other’s personalities
The audio you can hear over this post is an original song composed by our wonderful music teacher, inspired by the heartwarming story The Invisible String.
It was a wonderful reminder that wellbeing is about kindness, connection, and taking the time to pause, reflect, and enjoy the moment. 💛🌍

Today our pupils proudly wore jeans or their favourite item of denim to support the incredible cause Jeans for Genes Day. Together we’ve raised an incredible £258! A brilliant achievement that will go directly towards supporting families and children living with genetic conditions.
Jeans for Genes raises awareness of the daily challenges faced by those living with genetic conditions and helps fund life-changing projects. Taking part gives our pupils a meaningful opportunity to show empathy, learn the importance of giving back, and make a difference.
Thank you for your wonderful support! 💙👖🧬

We’re building confident readers from the very start! At NBH our Reception pupils begin their reading journey with Read Write Inc. (RWI) - a lively, systematic phonics programme that lays the foundation for fluent, enthusiastic readers and writers.
Through daily, fast-paced and multi-sensory sessions, our children:
• learn pure sounds and blend them into words with the help of Fred the Frog
• practise reading both phonetically decodable “green words” and tricky “red words”
• develop early writing skills using Fred Fingers, picture mnemonics and daily handwriting practice.
From Reception through to Year 2, pupils are grouped by ability so every child is supported, and challenged, at the right level. By the time they move beyond Year 2, they’re ready to tackle spelling rules, prefixes and suffixes with confidence. 🌟

⭐️ Happy First Day of School ⭐️
Some of our Year 1 & 2s joined Mrs Cartwright-Styles in a cheers to the new school year. Hurray for Autumn term indeed! 🎉
(There was some debate here at our Nursery and Pre-Prep about whether the hurray was necessary - we went with the kids’ decision on this one 🥳)

We are really pleased to announce that NBH Nursery and Pre-Prep has been awarded Millie’s Mark!
what is Millie’s Mark? 🤔
Millie’s Mark is a quality assurance certification for early years settings that shows we go above and beyond to keep your little ones safe. To achieve it, we had to meet strict criteria, including:
✅ 100% of our staff working directly with children trained in Paediatric First Aid
✅ Full assessment of our emergency procedures and safety policies
✅ Transparent reporting of any serious incidents and the measures we take
If a medical emergency ever arises, you can be confident that all our staff are trained and prepared to act - safety isn’t just in a few hands, it’s in all of them.
A huge well done to our amazing Nursery and Pre-Prep team! This mark reflects their dedication to creating a safe, nurturing and their ongoing commitment to the wellbeing of every child in our care. 🎉
