History

In 1939, North Bridge House School was set up as a junior and preparatory school in St John's Wood. By the 1950s, the school had moved to 8 Netherhall Gardens, Hampstead, which today houses the Pre-Prep (Junior) School. A reorganisation of the school during the 1960s resulted in the move of older Prep School students to two Nash houses near Regent's Park. Around the same time, the nursery was opened in a Victorian villa on Fitzjohns Avenue.

Later, in 1987, the whole Prep School was moved to a former convent in Gloucester Avenue, Primrose Hill, previously occupied by the Japanese School of London. [1] At the same time, the Senior School was set up, taking pupils to the age of 16.

In 2012, the Royal School, Hampstead, was merged with North Bridge House, its former location now the Hampstead Senior School. In the same year, the North Bridge House Senior School in Canonbury was set up. It is in a 500-year-old Grade II-listed building next to Canonbury Tower in Islington.

North Bridge House School, operated by Cognita, is a mixed-ability, co-educational school. In 2018, the Canonbury school achieved 70% 7-9 grades at GCSE, and 29% A-A* at A Level, [2] and the Hampstead Senior School achieved 56% 7–9 at GCSE.

South Hampstead is an affluent part of the London Borough of Camden in inner north London.

It takes in some of Fitzjohns Avenue leading up to "the village", but the exact amount is an arbitrary measure. The streets were laid out in the Victorian era. The area was not served by any railways until Loudoun Road station opened in 1879 on the street of that name.
