WELCOME FROM OUR HEADTEACHER
SARAH CARTWRIGHT-STYLES
North Bridge House Nursery & Pre-Prep School is a co-educational day school for ages 2 to 7 in the heart of Hampstead, North London. Our Nursery campus is located on leafy Fitzjohn’s Avenue, with the Pre-Prep moments around the corner on Netherhall Gardens.
Having been appointed Head in September 2024, I am delighted to be part of community that has such strong sense of purpose, kindness, and energy. This appointment is my fourth headship having previously led Francis Holland Junior School in Sloane Square, St Hilda’s Preparatory School, Bluebird Nursery School in Bushey, and North London Collegiate Junior School.
With a personal passion to support pupils in becoming their best selves, what I value most about NBH Hampstead Nursery & Pre-Prep is the reputation it has gained for nurturing and developing children to their full potential, instilling an ‘I can’, ‘I am’ attitude in all learners.
At NBH Nursery & Pre-Prep, we take a holistic and child-centred approach to developing our young learners, educating the whole child via a rich and varied curriculum, delivered by committed and inspirational teachers.
Children benefit from hands-on, active learning and our enabling environments - inside and outside the classroom - offer depth and relevance to learning; children can use their problem-solving skills and creative ideas to learn new things or extend and challenge previous learning and understanding.
Through careful monitoring of our mixed ability cohort, our dedicated staff ensure that the curriculum is individually tailored to support and challenge every child, and we are extremely proud of the achievements they make.
We pride ourselves on knowing every one of our unique children within our wonderfully diverse school community, and on knowing our families as partners in their child’s education.
Both pupils and parents enjoy a range of extra-curricular and highly anticipated events throughout the year. Termly excursions, Forest School trips and after school clubs are favourites with the children, whilst family and friends enjoy regular plays, concerts, coffee mornings, and annual Sports Days.
I am delighted to welcome you and your children to our warm and caring school, where we have built a community that thrives on mutual respect and values positive relationships. I look forward to you joining us and to your child finding their ‘True North’.
