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.

⭐ Hampstead Sixth Form Update ⭐
We’re delighted to announce Mr Dan Clarke as Head of Year 12.
Dan’s journey in teaching is unique. He originally trained as a physiotherapist but has extensive experience across various sectors in teaching and coaching.
As the current Head of Year 11, he’s excited to continue his journey with this group of students – a relationship that started all the way back when they were in Year 7.
Dan also brings a passion for educational experiences that allow students to look outwards and expand perspectives on the world beyond North London – whether through community partnerships, academics, or co-curricular activities.
With his background, Mr Clarke is especially excited about our Sporting opportunities in Sixth Form, including our new Sports Leadership Certificate (Level 3 Qualification).

🌅 Sunrise with Year 11 🌅
This morning, our Year 11s took to Parliament Hill for a sunrise celebration of their Senior School experience. Students took time to reminisce together, and with their favourite teachers, before heading to campus for a group breakfast 🍳
An extra shoutout to honorary Year 11s, Otto and Levi for joining the celebration too! 🐶
We recently marked Neurodiversity Week by celebrating the many ways our brains work and process the world. Neurodiversity refers to the idea that we all think, learn, and experience things differently, some people may find certain tasks easy, while others find them more challenging, and that’s what makes us unique!
Our students explored this through the story ‘The Perfect Fit’ and a whole-school activity. Each class discussed visible and invisible differences and created their own puzzle piece to represent their uniqueness. These class pieces were then joined together in a display, illustrating how we all have a place in our community. 💙
A wonderful celebration of inclusion and individuality!

Our students have been exploring masculinity and the expectations that come with it. For the last few years, the Progressive Masculinity workshop has given them a space to challenge stereotypes, rethink expectations, and have honest conversations. Some have taken part before, others are just starting, but every voice adds something important.
Workshops like this matter. The pressure to fit into a certain idea of masculinity is everywhere, now more than ever - on social media, in friendships, even in the shows we watch. But real strength is about being open, being kind, and figuring out who you truly are.
Hearing our students share their experiences just proves how important these conversations are. More of this. Always.

Year 2 had a wonderful experience last week as Freshwater Theatre Company took them back in time to the Great Fire of London. Through interactive drama and storytelling, our pupils not only learned about the event but also engaged with it - building empathy, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills along the way.
Workshops like this make history more than just a subject, they offer a chance to experience the past in a way that deepens understanding and sparks curiosity! 🏙️

We have been celebrating all week for Culture Week 2025, as our students embraced the stories, traditions, and identities that make our community so special. Throughout the week, student-led assemblies explored folklore from around the world, House Competitions put cultural knowledge to the test, and form-time quizzes sparked conversations about different traditions. Lessons took on a global twist, with activities that made us all appreciate the diversity woven into our school community.
Yesterday’s Bake Sale raised £230 for our chosen charity, @showracismtheredcard, with an incredible spread of homemade treats from various countries. And today, we wrapped off the week with the Culture Week Celebration Event, featuring incredible performances, short presentations, and live House Competitions. Our students arrived in non-school uniform, proudly wearing flag colours or traditional clothing, and together we raised a fantastic £311, bringing our total to £541 for an important cause.
Culture Week is more than just an event, it’s a reminder of our ongoing commitment to celebrating and embracing diversity every day. 🌍

Science is all about transformation!
For this year’s British Science Week theme, ‘Change and Adapt,’ our pupils have been exploring the fascinating ways living things evolve to survive in their environments. They have been learning how animals use camouflage, through disruptive colouration and disguise, to blend in and stay safe. Putting their new knowledge into action, they then hide butterflies around the Elm classroom, bringing the importance of science to life in the most exciting way! 🌿🔍

Yesterday, the iconic Alleyn’s cornflower found new roots at our Hampstead Nursery and Pre-Prep campuses!
Our Pre-Reception - Year 2 pupils teamed up across both campuses to plant their seeds side by side, marking a special occasion as we look forward to our exciting journey towards becoming Alleyn’s Hampstead Nursery and Junior School. A beautiful symbol of growth, unity, and the bright future ahead! Now we watch as these seeds, and our future, thrive! 🌱💙
