Established in 1939, the school offers a highly successful academic curriculum based on the English National Curriculum and is part of North Bridge House School's network of six sites across North London.
The school's philosophy focuses on nurturing individual children to achieve both academic and personal success, and it is on a constant journey of getting to know and understand each learner as unique and rounded individuals. The North Bridge House group is committed to three vision pillars: knowing the individual; fostering academic excellence; and cultivating character and promoting wellbeing. With around 380 pupils, North Bridge House Preparatory School aims to provide an outstanding education that meets and exceeds the expectations of its students and parents.

North Bridge House Preparatory School finds itself in a historic building that once served as a convent, now featuring modern, impressive facilities.

The current headteacher is Mr Tom Le Tissier, previously deputy head and an independent school alumnus.
