Overview
Overview
North Bridge House Senior School is approaching a significant change: from September 2026, the Hampstead site is due to become Alleyn's Hampstead as part of an all-through school. Until then, its identity is that of a mixed 11-18 senior community whose academic and co-curricular life combines individual attention with a broad, practical education.
Modern classrooms sit alongside a Sixth Form centre opened in September 2025 and specialist spaces for Art, Drama, Music and Science. Design and Technology rooms support food, textiles, photography and ceramics; an auditorium, drama studio, sports hall and gym give performance and physical activity proper room.
Learning is broad and experiential, linking visual arts with cross-disciplinary thinking and chances to present or perform. Teaching is tailored to individual strengths. Around 50 trips a year, clubs, LAMDA, the Duke of Edinburgh's Award and student-led sustainability work carry that approach beyond lessons and give pupils opportunities to act on their interests.
Form Tutors, Heads of Year, a counsellor and the SENCo support pupils through the senior years, with a Year 7 outdoor adventure trip helping the transition into the community. Admissions assessment is used to gauge potential and curriculum access rather than impose a pass mark. From 2026 onward, enquiries and applications are directed to Alleyn's Hampstead.
