Independent preparatory schools do not have to follow the National Curriculum or submit test results to the Department for Education so there is no individual school performance data or star rating.
Visit the school's website to learn more about their unique curriculum, policies on testing and common leaver destinations (a good indicator of pupil progress). See our About page for information on Choosing A Prep School.

In September 2026, North Bridge House Senior Hampstead will officially transition to become Alleyn’s Hampstead. This evolution marks a unique partnership with the prestigious Alleyn’s Schools Group, bringing 400 years of educational heritage to our vibrant North London community.
As an all-through school for ages 2–18, we will continue to deliver a world-class, holistic education rooted in our shared ROCCK values: Respect, Opportunity, Curiosity, Courage, and Kindness. We remain committed to helping every student become "All They Can Be."
This school is independently managed and its admission criteria may be selective. There is no set catchment area as pupils are admitted from a wide variety of postcodes and, in the case of boarding schools, from outside the UK. Contact the school directly or visit their website for more information on Admissions Policy and Procedures.
