Wellbeing inspires excellence at Northbridge. Our school offers outstanding personalised care, support and encourage students to learn with purpose and passion. This strong foundation not only drives academic success but also inspires learners to thrive far beyond the classroom.


We know that happy, healthy children achieve more. They tend to be more focused and engaged at school. They’re also better equipped to overcome challenges and cope with adversity.
At Northbridge, good wellbeing means being happy, confident, supported, and ready to learn. To make sure our children feel this way, we build meaningful connections, provide tailored pastoral support, and create a culture of care that makes everyone feel safe and included.
We also offer a wide range of wellbeing-focused initiatives. These include screen-free learning tools, guidance to help our students become 'better thinkers', and specialist teacher training through the Anna Freud Centre.
Our students’ remarkable success – evidenced both by their academic performance and personal achievements – is underpinned by a total commitment to wellbeing.
Across our schools, we adopt the Maslow before Bloom philosophy. This ensures the fundamental needs of our children – their comfort, health, and happiness – are always met first.
Research shows that prioritising wellbeing in this way enables a higher quality of learning, helping each child to fulfil their unique potential. Studies also demonstrate that learners who receive the right support achieve 7% higher scores in national tests.
Academic excellence and wellbeing go hand-in-hand at Northbridge. Our commitment to the emotional health of our students is both intentional and organic, delivered through evidence-based strategies, innovative in-school projects, and the very best pastoral care. This approach redefines success, equipping our learners with the skills they need to thrive in life.
There’s no limit to what happy, engaged, and supported students can achieve – as our series of short films demonstrates.
Sport empowers students by building their confidence, resilience, and emotional wellbeing. Nord Anglia's partnership with IMG Academy – the global leader in sports education – unlocks transformational opportunities for learners to develop these skills and to redefine what success looks like, both on and off the pitch.
Through IMG, our students benefit from world-class specialist training, which enhances sporting performance, develops leadership qualities, and supports physical and mental health. This sets them up to succeed, equipping them with the skills to excel on the field, in the classroom, and in life beyond our campuses.
We look forward to answering your questions and welcoming your family into our school community
