WELCOME TO CANONBURY SENIOR SCHOOL & SIXTH FORM

At NBH Canonbury Senior School and Sixth Form, we create a dynamic learning environment in which all children aged 11-18, regardless of where their strengths may lie, can discover their individual path to academic success.

 

Our students achieve outcomes way beyond starting point expectations, thriving on our personalised approach to teaching and learning within a small, close-knit school environment. Surrounded by and built on centuries-old heritage in leafy Canonbury Square, Islington, our school provides the ultimate backdrop against which young people find their True North, rigorously prepared to pursue their talents at university and in the world of work.

A TRULY UNIQUE EDUCATION

Our academic offering is designed to help every student find their own individual passion - their area of excellence - and what success looks like for them. We place each child's needs and interests at the heart of school life; our teachers are committed to understanding the individual and how they learn most effectively. Which is why our staff are actively involved in research projects with UCL and constantly probe their own practices to ensure we are following evidence-based approaches, working together with our students to achieve more than they believed possible.

UNPARALLELED CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT

A huge part of an NBH Canonbury education is each child’s personal development; we aim to equip young people with the confidence, humility and resilience to thrive in everything they do. From our incredible arts department and very own outdoor activity centre, to our embedded enrichment and wellbeing programmes, we nurture strong relationships within an inclusive community at the same time as exposing students to a world of opportunity, preparing them for a globally competitive workplace.

When science jumps off the page… and onto the lab table! 🔬
 
Our Year 8s got hands-on with a real-life dissection, guided by Dr Tabas, as they explored a lamb’s anatomy to uncover its key organs.
 
At NBH Canonbury, practical science isn’t just a lesson - it’s an adventure, and an important part of learning. Experiments like this bring classroom knowledge to life, spark curiosity, and give our students the hands-on experience they actually love.

Last week we were delighted to welcome parents for the first in our series of Parent Engagement Opportunities this academic year at NBH Canonbury.

This morning marked the start of a programme designed to strengthen the partnership between home and school, with a particular focus on supporting students with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).

From personalised learning plans and inclusive classroom practices, to workshops, coffee mornings and SEND homework clubs, our aim is to provide every child with the tools and support they need to thrive.

☕️ A special thank you to all the parents who joined us for today’s session. We look forward to many more conversations, workshops, and shared learning moments ahead.

📅 Stay tuned for details of our upcoming parent sessions on homework and revision tips, access arrangements, and further support for ADHD, SEMH and ASD.

Together, we can make every step of the learning journey a supported one.
We’re back! ✨
 
The new academic year has begun at NBH Canonbury, and our teachers are ready for an exciting year ahead. We asked them what they’re most looking forward to this year, and the answers show just how much thought, energy, and care they put into every day with our pupils and each other.
 
Hear directly from them - it’s a glimpse of the dedication that makes learning at NBH Canonbury so inspiring.
