Here at North Bridge House Senior Canonbury, learning beyond the classroom is key to our character education programme. From our timetabled enrichment programme and regular school trips, to a great range of after school sports clubs, LAMDA and the Duke of Edinburgh's award, our extra-curricular provision develops confidence, community and skillset among our student body.
Students also enjoy leading on and participating in a range of charitable events, while our Student Wellbeing Ambassadors further contribute to our wellbeing programme and close-knit, supportive school community.

After school clubs
Extra-curricular clubs are offered at lunchtime and after school for all Years 7 to 13. Our wide range of sport and fitness clubs rotate on a termly basis to ensure there is something which appeals to everyone and to develop varying skills and interests. Activities include dance, yoga, fencing, judo, netball, squash and the Sports Leaders award, to name but a few.
Enrichment programme
Our timetabled enrichment programme sees students explore activities beyond the conventional curriculum in vertical age groupings, providing opportunities and experiences that inspire and develop the individual, as well as enhance university and job applications. Creative opportunities include Fine Art, the student newsletter and the school production, while our ‘Plants, People and the Planet’ group put climate action at the heart of school life.
The Young Enterprise programme is particularly popular with our Sixth Form students, who set up and run their own business for the year. Every term, students benefit from a variety of leadership, entrepreneurial and community roles.
The Duke of Edinburgh's Award
Other activities are designed to develop essential skills for life and work, such as DofE. Our students embark on their Bronze, Silver and Gold DofE Awards, completing the four Volunteering, Physical, Skills and Expedition sections of the programme. DofE is an invaluable opportunity to help others, improve health and fitness, develop new and existing skills, and embark on an adventure, and NBH students thrive on the sense of challenge and achievement.
World of work
Our ‘World of Work’ lecture programme features speakers from varying industries and workplaces and is designed to inspire and educate students, allowing them to make informed choices about their professional development and academic pathway.
Students have the opportunity to meet with and question professionals on the nature of their careers and how they arrived in their positions. An additional work experience programme provides students with an insight into these particular industries.
