Consistently impressive grades
Since NBH Canonbury Senior School and Sixth Form opened in September 2014, we have built a strong reputation for academic excellence, consistently guiding students to top university destinations.
Our Sixth Formers regularly achieve outstanding A-Level results, earning places at prestigious Russell Group universities including Oxford, Cambridge, Bristol, Cardiff, Durham, Edinburgh, Exeter, Glasgow, King’s College London, Leeds, Liverpool, Queen Mary University of London, Sheffield, Southampton, UCL, Warwick, and York.
