WELCOME TO THE NORTH BRIDGE HOUSE FAMILY OF SCHOOLS IN NORTH LONDON
At North Bridge House, we dedicate ourselves to deeply understanding each pupil as a unique individual. We believe success encompasses more than excellent academic results—it’s about each student discovering the path that aligns with their distinct talents and personality. Guided by our excellent teachers and the wealth of opportunities both within and outside the classroom, a North Bridge education helps every student achieve their full academic and personal potential, leading them on their journey to finding their True North.
OUR UNIQUE SCHOOLS
Whether you are looking for one of our vibrant campuses transitioning to Alleyn’s Regent’s Park (September 2025) or Alleyn’s Hampstead (September 2026), or are seeking our Canonbury Senior and Sixth Form (students aged 11 to 18) in leafy Islington, we offer a variety of choices. Families can benefit from the option of a stress-free all-through education or choose individually tailored preparation for the next stage of their child’s school career.
Our Regent’s Park Prep School for 4 to 13-year-olds is becoming Alleyn’s Regent’s Park this Autumn. Our Nursery, Pre-Prep and Senior School in Hampstead are transitioning to become an all-through option, complete with a Junior School in September 2026.

Our Nursery and Pre-Prep pupils brought the spirit of Carnival to school today, arriving in colourful clothing and bright smiles!
The day began with a colourful parade, with pupils proudly showing off their bright outfits before enjoying a range of activities inspired by Carnival celebrations across African and Caribbean cultures. In celebration of Black History Month, the event was a joyful way to learn about different traditions and the stories behind them - with a tasty Caribbean lunch to round off the day!
Celebrating occasions like this remind us how important it is to celebrate diversity and help our pupils appreciate the many cultures that shape our community. 🌍

Six goals, one brilliant team - congratulations to our unstoppable U13 girls’ football team!

This week we’ve been giving back and growing in kindness!
As part of our Harvest Festival Week, pupils have been collecting essential foods, toiletries, and tinned goods to support Food Bank Aid, a community-led charity that collects and distributes donations to those in need within our local community. Our pupils even designed posters to show which items were needed most, helping everyone contribute in a meaningful way. These activities help our children understand from an early age the importance of generosity, empathy, and supporting others.
The week concluded with a special Harvest assembly, where pupils reflected on the impact of their efforts and the value of community. It has been wonderful to see our everyone actively engaging in helping those less fortunate while celebrating the spirit of giving. 💛

This morning, we came together for a special Hello Yellow assembly, inspired by the YoungMinds campaign, to celebrate World Mental Health Day and support children and young people’s well-being.
Our students reflected on what mental health means, acknowledging that it’s normal to have both good and bad days. They explored how talking openly about feelings can break down stigma, and shared thoughtful ways to support themselves and each other through listening, checking in, showing kindness, and asking for help, which is a true sign of strength.
We’re also thrilled to share that, thanks to our students, staff, and families, we’ve raised a total of £3,719.80 for @youngmindsuk! 👏
Let’s make every day a ‘yellow day’ in spirit: full of kindness, empathy, and connection. 💛

Celebrating a fantastic win with our U13 boys!
In the first round of the ISFA Bowl, our boys faced a tough Radnor House, Twickenham side. Falling 1–0 behind could have knocked their confidence, but instead, they showed real grit, perseverance and determination to fight back and level the score at 1-1.
With everything to play for, it all came down to a nail-biting penalty shootout… and the boys held their nerve brilliantly to claim victory!
A fantastic display of teamwork, resilience and self-belief. Well done, boys! 👏⚽

Reception had a very special visit this week!
As part of our People Who Help Us topic, three local police officers came to speak with The Maples and The Larches about their important role in keeping our community safe. Our pupils learned how to identify strangers, what to do if they get lost, and explored the special equipment officers use - even trying on police hats and seeing the torches used during night patrols.
Throughout the session, our pupils were highly engaged, asking thoughtful questions and showing a growing understanding of safety, community roles, and how to seek help in unfamiliar situations. The excitement didn’t stop there, the visit has inspired continued interest, with them already weaving what they learned into role play and free play conversations. 👮🎩🔦
