WELCOME TO REGENT'S PARK PREPARATORY SCHOOL
North Bridge House Regent’s Park is becoming Alleyn’s Regent’s Park.
Find us at the edge of Regent’s Park – our very own London playground – where academic challenge meets a supportive school community. As we transition to Alleyn’s Regent’s Park, we remain committed to a knowledge-rich and purposeful curriculum, ensuring children aged 4-13 achieve top-tier academic outcomes. With a wealth of character-building experiences beyond the classroom and compassionate staff guiding every child’s individual journey, we continue to provide outstanding preparation for future success.
BESPOKE PREPARATION FOR FUTURE PATHWAYS
From a nurturing start to school life in The Nest, through an increasingly rigorous, specialist taught curriculum (incorporating everything from Mandarin to Politics, Philosophy and Economics), we thoroughly prepare pupils for the senior school best suited to their individual strengths and interests – expertly facilitating all 11+, 13+, or through school journeys.
MORE THAN JUST AN EDUCATION
With enriching co-curricular initiatives such as the ACE Programme and the Orchestra Project, close to 40 extra-curricular clubs, and an ISI (Independent Schools Inspectorate) commended programme of trips, we offer pupils a wholly inspiring experience, with constant opportunities to excel and find their own ‘True North’.
WE WOULD LOVE TO SHOW YOU AROUND
Join us at an Open Day to see the school in action, hear from the Head, and meet our brilliant staff and pupils. As we transition to Alleyn’s Regent’s Park, this is a great opportunity to learn more about our exciting next chapter. Private tours are available if you cannot attend an Open Morning or if you are looking for a mid-year or immediate vacancy.
We are here to personalise your tour experience.
Join us at our next Open Morning:
Saturday 27th September, 9:30am

Last week we welcomed Paul Hannaford BEM 🥇 into school for a drug awareness workshop with our Year 9–12 pupils.
Paul shared his personal journey — from a sporty teenager to the wrong crowd, and the life-changing consequences that followed. He spoke with unflinching honesty about gangs, weapons and addiction, and what it means to take responsibility for your own path.
The pupils were extraordinary. They listened. They engaged. They reflected.
💬 “It was very impactful, truthful and moving.”
💬 “I will never get myself caught up in drugs. It can spiral out of hand so quickly.”
💬 “The most powerful assembly we have ever had.”
Thank you Paul — these are the conversations that matter. 🙏
Flashback to three weeks ago when our fantastically talented thespians staged a truly memorable production of Wizard of Oz. We are sure anyone who was lucky enough to catch one of the performances would agree that it was a very special show, really bringing the magical world of Oz to life.
There are too many people to recognise individually, so a massive congratulations to everyone who was involved in this amazing production as everyone on stage and behind the scenes did themselves, and the school, proud.

A huge congratulations to our very own Miss Oliver who has successfully completed the amazing feat of climbing the worlds highest free-standing mountain - Mt Kilimanjaro!
Describing this achievement as “honestly the hardest, most challenging thing I have ever done”, Miss Oliver took on this climb to raise funds for the Chifundo Foundation. Her efforts on the mountain, combined with other school events such as the non-uniform day and a bake sale, has so far raised over £1,300.
The Chifundo Foundation is an Irish charity that focuses on the educational needs of disadvantaged children in Zomba, Malawi. Their support includes school fees, learning materials (books, uniforms, shoes), and transportation. Additionally, they offer essential nutritional, social, and emotional assistance when required.

We are incredibly proud to share the news that one of our former North Bridge House Hampstead students, Sam O’Donnell has recently won the Urban Animals category in the RSPCA Young Photographer Awards 2025 with his fantastic image titled “Looking out into a concrete jungle”
Sam said of the photograph “In spring, a small colony of sand martins took up residence in old drainage pipes at Walthamstow Wetlands in East London. It was amazing to watch this migratory species breed successfully and thrive in this highly urban nature reserve. It’s something we should all strive for – to live alongside nature without harming it. I sat down, got into position (getting stung by a few nettles), adjusted my settings, and waited for a bird to perch on the edge of the pipe.”

We are proud to see Mrs Sarah Cartwright-Styles, our Nursery and Pre-Prep Head, featured recently in @thetimes.
The article explores Sarah’s dual role as a school leader and senior reservist, and how the values of discipline, teamwork and care for others shape her leadership both in uniform and in school. As Sarah reflects in the piece, “you can have two careers and you can hold them together”, a powerful reminder that purpose and service can take many forms.
These values are felt every day in school, enriching the way pupils are supported, guided and inspired, and modelling to them that leadership is rooted in commitment, resilience and integrity.
We are incredibly proud to have such a dedicated, values-led leader at the heart of our school community.

An unforgettable moment from the end of term! The My House Got Talent competition returned once again, inviting students across the school to take to the stage and share their talents through singing, drama, magic and more. Each performance reflected confidence, creativity and the joy of expressing individuality, making it a highlight many look forward to every year.
What truly sets this event apart is the sense of togetherness it brings. With our staff team also joining in with a performance, including one of our teachers singing Defying Gravity from Wicked. The evening became a shared celebration of talent, encouragement and school spirit, a reminder of how remarkable it is when the whole community comes together 👏💛

Our recent Winter Festival brought our school community together for a wonderful afternoon of celebration. The event featured an art exhibition showcasing the work created by our students, a festive concert featuring music and drama performances by our talented drama students, a winter market with seasonal treats, themed games in the sports hall, and a much-loved raffle and auction.
We are incredibly proud to share that a total of £4,525.56 was raised for the Royal Free Children’s Hospital School. This generous contribution will make a real difference to children and teens in Camden who are unable to access mainstream education, including those facing mental health challenges.
Thank you to everyone who attended, donated and supported the Winter Festival and concert - your generosity and community spirit truly made the event so special. 💙
