Welcome to North Bridge House School.

North Bridge House is a family of six independent day schools for boys and girls aged 2 to 18 years. 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.

At North Bridge House, we are on a constant journey of getting to know and understand every pupil as a unique and rounded individual. We understand that success is not simply defined by outstanding academic achievement, but also by every pupil finding a direction in life that truly reflects their unique talents and personality.

It is our specialist expertise that ensures every pupil realises their true academic and personal potential – setting them on a clear journey to find their True North.

Our little explorers in Reception at Hampstead Pre-Prep visited @aldenhamcountrypark, where they loved every minute of connecting with nature and the wildlife around them. ⁠
⁠
This visit was a wonderful way to teach children about the origins of food and the journey from field to fork. Visiting the working farm, the children were able to feed the cows, sheep and even alpacas, while learning about the farming process. Our children explored the wildlife at the reservoir, home to a variety of wild birds, and rambled through the nature walk, where they could develop their creative skills in a natural outdoor setting. Did you know that Aldenham Country Park is connected to One Hundred Wood, home to Winnie the Pooh and friends like Eeyore and Christopher Robin? What an enchanting place to inspire young minds!⁠

A quintessentially British summer: To welcome the imminent school holidays, Senior Canonbury students took to the iconic @Wimbledon Championships with the traditional treat of strawberries and cream. ⁠

Tennis enthusiasts or otherwise, our students thoroughly enjoyed immersing themselves in the buzz and excitement of the men`s and women`s singles at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, soaking up the atmosphere at the oldest and most prestigious tennis tournament on the planet. From the history of the only Grand Slam tennis event still held on grass to the invaluable lessons in sportsmanship, this tennis extravaganza proved to be a real highlight of our rich extra-curricular offering! ⁠

Au Revior, France! Our Upper School pupils swapped Regent`s Park Prep for Parisian sights, observing monumental history, ground-breaking art and engaging with the locals. Immersed in French culture, our multi-linguists practiced their language skills whilst building a strong foundation for their future GCSE and potentially A-Level studies. The Prep School language offering - French, Latin, Mandarin and Spanish - not only prepares our pupils for senior school pathways, but broadens their cultural awareness as global citizens. ⁠

What a wonderful adventure to wrap up the school year for our Hampstead Nursery children! Our little explorers took to @batterseazoo for an extra special storytime, centred around their topic book for the term, The Gruffalo. They embarked on a thrilling quest around the zoo to find the missing mouse, marvelling at snakes, lizards, and turtles along the way. Having learnt about the importance of being gentle and respectful to animals, the children safely returned the mouse home and had one last blast in the habitat themed play area.⁠
