North Bridge House Senior School and Sixth Form Canonbury is a co-educational day school for Year 7 to Year 13 students in North London.
We pride ourselves on providing a unique, high quality education, delivered by inspirational teachers in state-of-the-art facilities. The Grade II listed Tudor building has been beautifully restored to provide a contemporary learning environment in a prime London location, easily accessible by a range of public transport links.
North Bridge House Canonbury is dedicated to providing students with an outstanding education and to developing happy, confident young adults with the skills to become future leaders. Thanks to our small class sizes we are able to tailor our teaching and support to meet the needs of every child.
We are at the forefront of understanding teens and how to enhance their performance. With experts continuing to shed ever-more light on teenage learning patterns and the stages of their brain development, we believe that by effectively harnessing this research we can maximise the potential of each individual. Our work with the Teenage Sleep Foundation and Dr Paul Kelley from the University of Oxford has led us to introduce a later start time for our Sixth Formers, whilst Professor Sarah-Jayne Blakemore and Teenage Mental Health champion, Johnny Benjamin, have informed our pupil support programme and helped us, and the parent body, better understand our teens.
