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.

Follow us on social media for the latest news, events and everyday learning.
Our Nursery and Pre-Prep pupils have the chance to slow down and engage deeply with the natural world during Forest School.
Whether they’re searching for woodland creatures under logs, spotting tracks near the trees, or getting creative with mud painting, every activity encourages curiosity, independence, and resilience - there’s space to explore, listen, and reflect.
These outdoor sessions support early development in the best way, through play, movement, and imagination. They help build confidence within our children, communication skills, and a sense of calm that only nature seems to offer.
It’s early learning that’s grounded, quite literally, in the world around them. 🌳🪵🐌

Last month, Year 1 stepped back in time at the London Canal Museum, experiencing what life was like aboard a traditional narrowboat!
They learned about the history of London’s canals and how they shaped London’s past, climbed aboard the Wickham Diesel Tractor to see how goods were transported, and even took a trip on the water. A fascinating day of hands-on learning!

⭐️ Sixth Form Update ⭐️
In our last week of term, Hampstead Sixth hosted our Sixth Form Open Evening for internal and external students to learn more about our new community.
We were delighted to be joined by Professor George Alexandridis from Henley Business School. Mr Alexandridis holds many roles at Henley across both the Senior Management team and Executive Committee but spoke primarily in his capacity as Co-Director of Henley Careers and Professional Development. He is also an NBH parent himself!
His talk discussed the future of careers, university decision making, and the importance of exploration before university. He noted that according to recent studies, one-third of university students regret their choice of subject!
The ability to explore through co-curricular activities, community partnerships, and academic study while still in Senior School and Sixth Form is so vital to making decisions for the future. Our curriculum allows all students to explore their passions, and find new unique routes towards their future ambitions.

Last term, Year 8 Drama explored theatre design, turning shoeboxes into mini stages and stepping into the role of lighting designers!
With torches, coloured gels, and tiny ‘actors,’ they discovered how light creates atmosphere, signals the time of day, and reflects a character’s emotions. Inspired by ‘The 39 Steps’, pupils staged key scenes, experimenting with eerie shadows, bold spotlights, and colourful effects to bring Richard Hannay’s adventure to life. A brilliant way to see how lighting can shape a story on stage! 🔦🎬

Our Nursery and Pre-Prep children hopped into Spring 🐰 at our inaugural Spring Bonnet Parade 👒
We loved seeing everyone’s fabulous and fun bonnets - including everything from sustainable materials to creative themes like Peppa Pig, Pokémon, space, Minecraft, unicorns and Formula 1 racing. Each hat really captured the essence of every child!
Thank you to all who attended and supported the children in making this parade such a special occasion.
What a great way to end the term and celebrate the season of Spring! 🌸🌷

⭐ 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! 🐶
