Values and vision

North London Collegiate School combines academic excellence with a vibrant extracurricular life, an international outlook, excellent facilities and a warm community.

ISI report
In April 2024, North London Collegiate School received its latest routine inspection, which took place within the new Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) framework.
We were delighted that the inspection team gave a strong endorsement for all aspects of the education provided and the wellbeing and engagement of our pupils at every stage of the School. The inspection also identified NLCS as being fully compliant with all regulations and requirements, with best practice in place across the board.
One feature of the new framework is that ISI no longer uses single-word gradings of schools, such as ‘Excellent’ which NLCS received at its previous routine inspection. ISI now seeks to make an evaluative commentary across the various aspects of a school’s provision.
