One of my favourite educational philosophers is Kurt Hahn, who escaped from the Nazis and founded two leading schools: Gordonstoun in Scotland and Atlantic College on the Welsh coast. Reflecting on the young people he worked with he said, \u201cThere is more to you than you know\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Our aim here at North Bridge House is to create the opportunity for our young people to exceed their own expectations and achieve the \u2018more\u2019 in them. The physical environment is important but equally as important is the atmosphere, and at NBH, we create a place where young people feel confident in understanding themselves as learners.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"flex-button\"><\/div><style>\n                        .flex-button {\n                        margin-top: 25px;\n                    } \n                        \n                    @media (max-width: 767px){\n                     .flex-button {\n                      display: block;\n                      margin-left: 0;\n                    }\n                    .flex-button .text-center{\n                     text-align: left !important;\n                    }\n                    }\n\n\n                        <\/style><\/div><\/div><\/section>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]\n    <section  style='' class=\"section     pt-0   \" ><div class=\"container-fluid\"><div class=\"row    \"><div class=\" col-lg-6 col-md-6    order-2 order-md-1   \" ><div class=\"component link\"><div class=\"ratio ratio-16x9 callout-img halfcol--img image_overlay_7223\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/www.northbridgehouse.com\/senior-hampstead\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/131\/2024\/02\/JMB00218.jpg);\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n                    <div class=\"col-lg-6 col-md-6  order-1 order-md-2   \"><div class=\"component mb-1 mt-0  radius-bottom-LR \" style='px'>\n                        <div class=\"sub-heading component \">\n                        <p class=\"body-medium\">Along with exceptional teaching, we are committed to providing a broad and creative curriculum, which prepares and allows our children to make informed choices come GCSE.

Our Year 10 World of Work programme further informs students\u2019 future career paths via talks from industry professionals.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nMany of our students challenge themselves beyond the main curriculum, taking advantage of the LAMDA and instrumental lessons we offer, or individual language lessons in Mandarin, Russian and Italian, to name but a few.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nOur enrichment programme always ensures a high-energy end to the week, connecting students with their peers in other year groups to enjoy activities as diverse as philosophy and chess, music appreciation and charity work in the local community.<\/p>\n                        <\/div><\/div><\/div>\n                    <div class=\"col-lg-6 col-md-6    \"><div class=\"component single-img \"><div class=\"ratio ratio-16x9 callout-img halfcol--img image_overlay_7152\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/www.northbridgehouse.com\/senior-hampstead\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/131\/2024\/02\/JMB00148.jpg);\"><\/div><\/div> <\/div>\n             <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n<\/section>\n            <\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<section  class=\"section callout-img full--img  has-bg-image   \" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.northbridgehouse.com\/senior-hampstead\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/131\/2024\/03\/cognita-family-hero.jpeg'); background-size: cover;\"><div class=\"img-overlay overlay8854\"><\/div><div class=\"container-fluid\">\n                                <div class=\"row \"><style>\n                @media (max-width: 767px) {\n                    .img_overlay_uniq3857 {\n                        width: 90%;\n                    }\n                }\n                <\/style><div class=\"col-lg-12 col-md-12\">\n                                    <div class=\"heading component\">\n                                    <div class=\"\" >\n                                    <div class=\"img-overlay-middle img_overlay_uniq3857\" style=\" \">\n                                    <div><style>\n                                            .callout-img blockquote::before {\n                                                content: open-quote;\n                                            }\n                                            .callout-img blockquote::after {\n                                                content: close-quote;\n                                            }\n                                            <\/style><div class=\"heading component\">\n                                                    <blockquote class=\"h4\">My experience is very positive with all the staff including the leadership team.
