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.
YOUR CHILD'S JOURNEY
North Bridge House is a family of four independent day schools for children 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. We have one Nursery & Pre-Prep campus in Hampstead for children aged 2 to 7, a Prep School in Regent’s Park for 4 to 13-year-olds and two Senior School campuses. Senior Canonbury (just around the corner from Highbury & Islington tube station) and Senior Hampstead are both for students aged 11 to 18.

Our Regent’s Park Prep School transformed into a hub of discovery and wonder during our Morning of Magic admissions event🧪
Prospective students were given a glimpse into our dynamic science curriculum further sparking curiosity and creativity in our young scientists. Experiments ranged from dragon’s toothpaste, sipping on colourful test tube juice and testing the acidity of liquid through a series of hands-on experiments.
The excitement peaked when Ms Negash safely cleaned her hands with flames—a standout moment of science in action! 🔥

Our Hampstead Nursery was transformed into a magical winter wonderland today as @shootingstarentertainments delivered their delightful production of Search for Santa🎅
When Santa magically disappears, a group of adventurous friends set off on a journey of nursery rhymes and dancing to discover his whereabouts. Along the way, they encountered whimsical characters, solved festive challenges, and discovered the true meaning of the holiday spirit - bringing joy, kindness, and togetherness to the forefront.
And, of course, Santa was found safe and sound, ready to return to the North Pole just in time! Our little learners couldn’t help but smile and dance at the infectious festive cheer 🎄✨

A postcard from Lille! 🥐
This week, sixteen of our Year 7 Canonbury Senior pupils embarked on a cultural and festive adventure to Lille, in northern France, immersing themselves in the magic of the early Christmas season🎄
The group explored the Christmas market, Le Village de Noël, sampling classic French delicacies such as macarons and crêpes and enjoying breathtaking views of the city from the Ferris wheel. Their journey also included a walk through Lille’s historic old town, renowned for its beautiful fusion of French and Flemish-inspired architecture.
This trip has allowed our students to build on their linguistic abilities by experiencing real-world conversations and deepening their cultural understanding.

Get to know Mrs Charlotte Tassell-Dent, Headteacher at Canonbury Senior School since 2019!
Currently working toward her NPQEL (National Professional Qualification for Executive Leadership) , Charlotte represents lifelong learning and commitment to professional growth. This solid foundation drives her passion for creating engaging, forward-thinking education experiences that shape our students into thoughtful, confident individuals.
Her journey began with a PGCE in Geography from the University of Portsmouth and a Master’s in Education from the University of Hertfordshire.
Beyond the classroom, Charlotte is an adventurer at heart. She loves hiking with her family, where two young explorers (aged 5 and 7) see every opportunity for bug hunting and nature stops.
Whether she’s exploring UK trails or new destinations abroad, Charlotte values the perspectives travel brings, and she’s always excited to share this with our school and in her Geography lessons!

Our Nursery children truly lit up the stage during their vibrant Festival of Light performances! 🎆
Through spirited songs and dances inspired by Diwali celebrations, they beautifully honoured the festival’s message of light triumphing over darkness. The children also shared the story of Diwali, highlighting themes of togetherness, positivity, and the importance of kindness—values that resonate deeply with our community.
A huge well done to our little stars (as well as our brilliant specialist staff) for creating such a joyful and meaningful celebration. You’ve made us all so proud! ✨

Our Year 2 pupils at Hampstead Pre-Prep stepped beyond the frame and into the extraordinary world of art at @framelessldn 🎨✨
Through this immersive experience, they explored four captivating exhibitions: The World Around Us, The Art of Abstraction, Beyond Reality, and Colour in Motion.
Iconic masterpieces by artists like Claude Monet and Georges Seurat came alive, transporting our children into the vibrant, awe-inspiring worlds these artists created. Set to an impressive soundtrack, the exhibition offered a unique sensory journey, igniting curiosity and creativity in every child.

🎓️Class of 2024 Awards Night🎓️
Recently, we came together to celebrate our Year 11 leavers at the GCSE Results Evening, a night that marked the culmination of their hard work, resilience, and growth over the years.
From their very first day in Year 7 to the confident, capable individuals they`ve become, their journey has been nothing short of inspiring. As the Class of 2024 moves on to new challenges and opportunities, we couldn’t be prouder of all they’ve accomplished. Wherever their paths may lead, they will always be part of the NBH family 💙
