Table of Contents
Introduction
North Bridge House School is an independent school with two Senior School campuses, one in Hampstead and one in Canonbury. Operated by Cognita, North Bridge House Senior Hampstead boasts a rich range of modern facilities, including specialist teaching suites and a spacious sports hall. [1]
Tailored to provide a firm grounding for pupils of various abilities, the school’s curriculum covers Latin, English, science, DT, MFL and PSHE, among others. Creative and independent thought is strongly encouraged in class, thus pupils develop a spirit of enquiry and approach the exploration of various concepts accordingly. [2]
After classes, they get to further advance their learning across a range of activities that embody the enrichment programme. Everything from engineering, yoga and chess to astronomy, dance and DofE is on offer, allowing students to maximise the scope of their abilities in a fun and satisfying manner. [3]
Pastoral care is centred on the ‘whole child’ and addressing the individual needs of each member of the school’s community. The balanced PSHE syllabus ensures that leavers access further education with a strong awareness of their responsibilities as citizens of the modern world and the assets and qualities that make a great leader.
