Mill Hill School or North Bridge House

[jenni90903]

Could somebody tell me which of these schools -Mill Hill or North Bridge House- is better academically?

My DC are in North Bridge. Nursery is absolutely amazing. Lower prep is fine to my mind too. Pastoral care - I never complained and noticed any negatives. Food - for a picky child may be not perfect, but in the whole they always have options to choose from ( mine eat everything like windmills)
But the upper prep I can't say I'm very happy with. They are trying to get better results and I could see the difference even in homework and pressure on children last year. But it is not hard for the academic child at all. They could do much more.
Also keep in mind that from year 3 they go to Gloucester Avenue by Regents park. So it does depend where you leave too. They have got a school coaches with different routs though.
From year 9 they are based in Hampstead and I can't say too much about it as my DC are younger. But may be someone here will pop out with more info.

I've got a friend with the son in Mill Hill. They say it is quite relaxed all there but a lot of sport and facilities no doubt are better then in NorthBridge. Again for 11+ and 13+ a lot of children from NorthBridge go to Mill Hill.
But I advice you better go and see both for yourself if you haven't been there yet and then decide. Also check the leavers destinations, might help to make a decision.

Comparing recent years' results on LondonSchooling.com, Mill Hill School tends to get higher percentages of A* and A grade GCSE results overall.

North Bridge has had some stronger results in subjects such as Maths.

Mill Hill has much better results in other subjects such as Art, Geography and History.
