st Anthony’s Hampstead vs north bridge house teception

[dips81]

Hello, I’m moving to Hampstead over the summer with my two boys. I’m wondering if anybody had any views on St. Anthony’s Reception and North Bridge House reception?

I visited Northbridge House looking for a reception place and was not impressed, we didn't apply even as a back up. I know several families that took their DC out for various reasons (not necessarily academic, some went on to Mill Hill which is not academic either). Having said that, I've heard their prep school is not bad, but that's different location and I don't know much about it.
No experience of St Anthony's.

Would lean much more towards St Anthony's! It has a great reputation...

I saw NBH today and had mixed feelings - it felt like the teachers were promoting it a lot and the children seemed happy there but there are so many mixed reviews.

I haven't seen NBH but I was very impressed with St A (in particular the Headmaster). They had great exit results too.

My son is in Year 2 at st Anthony’s. Please feel free to message me.
