Since its foundation, in 1561, the school has been widely-regarded as one of the best schools in England, providing an all-round education of the highest quality. One of England’s “great nine schools” its reputation today remains that of a “top” boys’ school. The boys enjoy a superb campus: 280 acres of lakes and countryside. The school is just 30 minutes from central London on the Metropolitan line and 10 minutes from the M1, M25 & M40. Boys travel in from north London, Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Middlesex. Many take advantage of our coach services from Ealing, Highgate, Radlett, Beaconsfield, Harpenden, Harrow, Mill Hill and Stanmore. In response to increased demand from the Camden, Kilburn, Primrose Hill, St John's Wood and West Hampstead areas, we have launched an additional St John's Wood coach route running up Finchley Road and along Hendon Way to the M1 (average journey time between 50 minutes and 1 hour). Many travel on the tube or the Chiltern Line from central London, Hampstead, Highgate and Amersham. 11+ Assesses English, Maths, MTS General Paper (School specific paper)

Our mission at Mount House School is to inspire lifelong learning within a nurturing, culturally creative and intellectually dynamic community. At Mount House, every individual is valued and each child’s unique talents will be identified and nurtured. Students leave as able, articulate, balanced, caring, and well-rounded individuals with a genuine love of learning, ready to take on life’s challenges and opportunities, aware of the needs of others and confident in their ability to make a difference. Mount House expects students to be the very best they can be and inspires them to make their best even better. Our overarching aim is that Mount House is a happy and successful School, with an excellent record of GCSE and A level results and an outstanding record of students achieving places at top universities. The School is equally concerned to foster the wide range of skills that help young students grow into capable adults with a sense of self-worth. Mount House supports students as they strive for academic excellence within a clear framework of personalised pastoral care and wellbeing that brings success without stress.  Successful schools are about the personal development of each child as an individual. This includes their academic qualifications, but just as important is development of the skills of leadership, teamwork and collaboration, resilience and self-awareness which will allow them to enjoy success, happiness and fulfilment in their adult lives. In a changing world, Mount House students find a sense of purpose, where they are supported and encouraged to have an open mind and immerse themselves in school life. At Mount House, students combine endeavour with an enthusiastic engagement which extends well beyond the classroom. We are committed to providing the highest quality of education with breadth and balance for all. With a maximum capacity of 350 students, we are a small school with a significant sense of community. We encourage our students to aim high, to work hard to be the best they can be – whether it’s in the examination hall, on the sports field, or on the stage. Small classes and tutor groups where students will receive individual attention are critical to creating those opportunities, and this allows us to guide each student so that they, in turn, can contribute to the creation of a stimulating and supportive community. Mount House is a place of learning, discovery, laughter and friendship – a place where students want to be. I consider it a great privilege to be able to lead a unique school which is able to offer such a wonderful educational experience. 11+ Assesses Part 1 - Family Interview  Part 2 - English, Maths, Non-Verbal Reasoning

We are proud of our achievements. We have a nurturing environment where children feel supported and valued. We want our pupils to be excited by school and all it offers. We want our pupils to develop their curiosity and independent thinking skills; we also want our pupils to develop confidence in all that they do. Norfolk House has a very strong community. Parents and pupils are committed and supportive of all the school does; this is a key ingredient of the school’s success. Due to the school’s success and popularity, we do operate waiting list and priority waiting list systems. The majority of our families live in Muswell Hill, Highgate and Crouch End. Our Nursery, Reception and Form 1 classes are housed in a converted three-storey Victorian house in Princes Avenue, Muswell Hill (previously Montessori House Nursery, which was acquired by Bellevue Education and merged with Norfolk House School in 2013). Form 2 to Form 6 are housed in a charming Victorian house which retains many of its original features, in Muswell Avenue. Nursery Admission For children joining our nursery or Reception class, there is no taster day required. We do ask that your child attends the tour, so that we can meet the whole family. Main School Admission Following an initial visit to Norfolk House, Mr Lander may wish to arrange a taster day or morning for your child to experience life at Norfolk House and to meet their peers. The taster day is a valuable opportunity for an informal assessment to be carried out by our teaching staff.

Education literally means “to lead out” from the Latin ex ducere. It means that our role as a school is to draw out of our students the talents, abilities and qualities that lie within them. It is a classical view of education and one that we proudly subscribe to. As a selective Grammar school we admit those who have demonstrated an ability for the kind of academic education we provide. But ability without application is largely meaningless and so at NHGS we nurture and train those abilities; developing the skills and attitudes necessary to flourish in an academic environment. We call this Scholarship. This is one important element of a great education but it is not the only one. Plutarch said that “Education is not the filling of a pail but the lighting of a fire”. Fire would have been seen by the ancient Greeks and indeed the Elizabethans as a symbol of inspiration. Shakespeare’s “muse of fire” is the inspiration we all seek to give us purpose and to move us forward. A great education should inspire and we call this Wonder. Ambition is often referred to in education and more often denotes a desire to do better, to do more, to climb the proverbial ladder. There is some value to this, but the real meaning of ambition is very different. It derives from the Greek root which literally means wingspan and therefore means to “spread your wings”; to try new things, develop new skills, talents and interests through a wide range of extra-curricular opportunities. We call this Ambit. The last is our True North; where our skills, abilities, attitudes and purpose align with our values to point us where we need to go. This is where we find fulfilment and indeed happiness. As we “lead out” our students it is the compass, via scholarship, wonder and ambit that guides them to their true north.

North London Collegiate School is a top independent day school for girls aged 4-18. Since its founding in 1850, generations of girls have received an ambitious academic education and formed a bond with NLCS, which lasts forever. We provide a carefully judged blend of support and challenge, a friendly and warm atmosphere, glorious facilities and extensive extra-curricular activities.  We are proud of our tradition of producing independent-minded young women with the drive to make the most of opportunities and make a difference in the world. That was the vision of the founder, Frances Mary Buss, in 1850, and it remains at the heart of the School’s aims today. We have a strong track record of enabling students to gain entry to their first choice of university, but examination success is only part of the picture, and passionate teachers inspire pupils with a love of their subject which goes beyond the examination syllabus. NLCS celebrates the individual and creative spirit of the pupils. We provide the springboard for our students to find their place in a world which will require not only technical skills but also creative and communication skills to thrive. This is why we continue to invest in and enhance our music and arts provision and offer a wealth of sporting opportunities. Over 50 clubs and societies create a vibrant atmosphere that helps students develop a relaxed self-confidence and enjoy their time at Canons. To find their niche, develop confidence, and succeed in whichever area they choose. Every pupil matters and the pastoral care at the School ensures that students feel supported and valued throughout their time here. We encourage students to be resilient and bounce back when faced with challenges or disappointments. As we remember in our Founder’s Day prayer “Thou dost require much from those to whom much is given”, and today it is just as important that our students develop a sense of social responsibility and learn how to make a practical difference to the world around them. NLCS has a global perspective that is unique amongst London day schools. In the Sixth Form, students can study the International Baccalaureate Diploma – a highly regarded qualification particularly prized by Ivy League, Russell Group and European universities. In addition to this, the opening of our sister schools in Jeju, Dubai, Singapore and Ho Chi Minh City benefits our students through exchange and collaboration opportunities.

Our aim is to empower each and every one of our students with the knowledge, insight and motivation to enter adult-hood as ambitious, confident, conscientious and happy members of society.  Our young women leave school as true global citizens, armed not just with outstanding academic credentials, but also prepared to turn challenge into opportunity, to embrace change and innovation, to maintain a lifelong love of learning and to succeed on a path that is most suited to their individual talents.  Ready to take their place in a world of opportunity, Northwood girls are equipped with the proficiencies and dispositions to excel in the workplace and are fully cognisant of their own strengths. I am honoured to lead a team of inspirational, forward-thinking and fiercely dedicated educators, all of whom work hard to provide a centre of excellence every day by bringing energy, passion and innovation into the classrooms.  We care deeply about the girls that we have the privilege of guiding into young adulthood. We know each girl, her strengths, talents, dreams and areas for development, and we make sure that each lesson and extra-curricular activity is designed to inspire and develop her.  Academic Approach We are unashamedly ambitious for our girls. Our rich academic curriculum and culture of scholarship ignites curiosity and imagination; it encourages our young women to embrace knowledge and unlocks an insatiable curiosity and thirst to discover.  Our pupils exceed academic expectations. We achieve this by consistently tracking, assessing, supporting and challenging each girl. Our individualised learning programmes, and innovative pedagogical techniques, equip them with the most effective learning systems. We teach our young women how to think effectively: to think smart, think independently, think analytically, think creatively and to ultimately become a master in agile and critical thinking. My commitment to parents is that no student will fly under the radar – there are no limits placed on our girls’ achievements. Coaching School We believe that success and purpose stem from feeling valued and creating impact. Our outstanding pastoral guidance ensures that each girl feels resilient and supported as she takes on the challenges faced by young people today. To really excel in our rapidly changing world, young women need more than examination results alone and we want our girls to leave school with healthy minds and emotional resilience. We teach the tools and techniques that enable each pupil to act confidently, courageously, ambitiously and authentically, always with optimism and conviction. Proven emotional resilience programmes encourage the girls out of their comfort zone and equip them with the necessary skills to face any future challenges. Fostering Joy At NWC we foster joy in all that we do because we truly believe that a happy girl will excel. We relish the fact that she will go on to enjoy friendships for life, which were formed in a school where she felt secure, valued and respected every day.  We are proud of our supportive, vibrant and warm community where the girls and staff look after one another and rejoice in one another’s success; we are confident that our girls leave school with the skills to continue to build meaningful relationships throughout their lives.  As a community, rather than just a collection of individuals, we are greater than the sum of our parts. Moral Compass We encourage our young women to act with compassion and integrity, with respect for other people and the environment. Our girls are thoughtful about different approaches to social and spiritual issues and we wholeheartedly celebrate our diversity of faith, heritage, culture and language. Being a GDST Girl We are part of the Girls’ Day School Trust network of twenty-five schools and we firmly endorse and believe in the GDST’s core values: to always put the girls first; to be fearless and act and speak with conviction; to be forward-thinking, embrace change and fully prepare our girls for the future; and to reap the rewards of being part of a true ‘family’ of schools. With an outstanding track record in educational innovation and academic excellence, the GDST is the UK’s largest education charity and guarantees that girls have the opportunity to participate in a wide range of scholarships, competitions, awards and prizes, as well as, benefit from a spectrum of GDST learning initiatives, training, seminars and workshops. Equally, our teachers benefit from the most up to date educational resources, training and support network. Our pupils are GDST ‘girls for life’, providing them with access to over 70,000 alumni and insight into an all-encompassing range of industries. We are dedicated to providing unparalleled further education and careers advice, guidance, support and experiences which focus on ensuring that our girls go on to study the most competitive courses at the most prestigious universities and ultimately follow the most beneficial career paths. Parent Partnership In always putting our girls first, we share the values and vision of our parents and we believe that a strong school/parent partnership is vitally important. Regular family workshops, ensuring that each phone call is treated with the importance it deserves and an open door policy all work together to assure that NWC parents know that they are a valued part of our team. We were delighted to achieve ‘Excellent’ in every category in our last Education Inspection report and a 5-star review rating from schoolguide.co.uk. 7+ Assesses Maths, English, Interview 11+ Assesses London 11+ Consortium - Maths, Problem Solving, English, Verbal Reasoning, Non-Verbal Reasoning, Analysis (aka Creative Comprehension)

Our educational culture means that girls do not have to choose between academic ambition and a supportive community. Everyone who visits NHEHS remarks on our unique atmosphere, where girls support, celebrate and encourage each other. Our teachers and support staff inspire students to believe in themselves. Results are of course important, but we wish girls to explore beyond the syllabus, and to develop knowledge and skills for life. Strong pastoral care is at the heart of our ethos, and teaches girls to be kind and generous-spirited, whilst learning how to voice ideas and to know how to lead their own initiatives.  Our myriad of extra-curricular opportunities encourages every girl to find her own niche, and to try out new activities, whether being bold in their achievements or simply for fun. We have a strong emphasis on looking beyond the school gates. Through charity, volunteering and links with other schools and institutions, we encourage girls to have an outward-facing perspective, and to be confident and compassionate in the world beyond school. 7+ Assesses Maths ,English, Reasoning 11+ Assesses London 11+ Consortium - Maths, Problem Solving, English, Verbal Reasoning, Non-Verbal Reasoning, Analysis (aka Creative Comprehension)
