Senior School Curriculum

A rich and rounded curriculum.

At North Bridge House Senior Hampstead, our curriculum is rich, rounded and designed specifically to support our students in becoming independent, lifelong learners.

Our vision is for pupils to be able to pursue their personal academic interests through a relevant, engaging and appropriately challenging curriculum. While academically rigorous, our curriculum fosters a breadth of character in our students which, together with a varied skillset, prepares them for higher education and the world of work.

We provide a wide range of specialist subject options in addition to the core academic subjects, and every year group further benefits from our timetabled weekly enrichment programme.
