Cutting-edge study
A-Level STEM subjects at NBH Canonbury offer a challenging and enriching academic experience.
Students engage in advanced practical work and rigorous theoretical exploration across Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Computer Science, Mathematics and Further Mathematics. They develop skills in scientific research, mathematical modelling, coding and data analysis – all highly valued by top universities and future employers.
STEM at Canonbury combines depth of knowledge with curiosity and innovation. Through small class sizes and expert guidance, students learn to think independently, apply concepts to real-world issues, and approach problems with analytical precision and creative insight.
Specialist teaching and facilities
At Sixth Form, students benefit from subject-specialist teaching and access to dedicated science laboratories for Biology, Chemistry and Physics. These well-equipped spaces support complex investigations, independent research and a deeper understanding of the scientific method in action. Lessons across all STEM disciplines incorporate modern technologies – from coding and digital simulations to data-logging and analysis – preparing students for the demands of university study and STEM-related industries.
Those applying to competitive courses such as Medicine, Engineering or Computer Science receive tailored UCAS and Oxbridge support, including one-to-one mentoring and interview preparation. Students are also encouraged to extend their learning through enrichment sessions, science discussions and visits to leading research centres, making the most of London’s exceptional educational resources.
Post-Sixth Form pathways
Students achieve excellent A-Level results and progress to Oxbridge, UCL and other Russell Group universities, pursuing degrees in fields such as Biochemistry, Medicine, Dentistry and Engineering. Their success is supported by individual mentoring, expert UCAS guidance and strong academic foundations built through rigorous study and enrichment opportunities.
Beyond the classroom, students continue to explore their passion for science and technology through Science Society, maths enrichment and collaborative innovation projects, developing the confidence, problem-solving skills and leadership to thrive in the world beyond school.
