As a selective school, we carry out assessments at all entry points to ensure that each pupil will thrive within our academic environment.

4+ Entry: We assess school readiness in a group setting, observing early learning skills and social interaction. These assessments are standardised according to each child’s age.

7+ Entry: Candidates sit written papers in English and Mathematics. Those invited to the second round spend a day in school, taking part in lessons and activities.

11+ Entry: Candidates complete written papers in English and Mathematics. Around half are then invited back for an interview with a member of the academic team, during which some English and Maths tasks are explored in an informal, conversational setting.
16+ Entry: Candidates sit three subject papers, based on the subjects they wish to study for A Level or Higher Level IB. Those invited to the next stage take part in short, subject-specific interviews as well as a general academic interview.

Registrations usually open in May and close in October for 4+, 7+ and 16+ and mid November for 11+. Registrations and assessments take place in the year before entry to the school.

Occasionally, a place may become available in a year group, and we then invite girls on our occasional place waiting list to take part in assessments. Families may register their interest by completing the form available on our website. When a place arises, we will contact those on the list to arrange the relevant assessments.

North London Collegiate School is a top three independent day school for girls aged 4-18, where bright young minds come to explore, question, and thrive.

In the Sixth Form, each student is given the opportunity to pursue a curriculum which is tailored to them. NLCS offers two academic pathways. Students can study the International Baccalaureate or take a combination of 3 or 4 A Level subjects.

Today, we continue to embrace a spirit of scholarly enquiry and creative endeavour, led by a community of staff and pupils who relish learning. Our mission is to provide an inspirational education to enable our pupils to become young women of influence and impact.

From the earliest years, we teach our pupils to think for themselves and to be intellectually courageous. The development of emotional intelligence and character is just as important. Our pupils’ personal development and pastoral care are supported by our relentless investment in individual growth. Pastoral groups in our co-tutor system are small, typically no more than 10-12 pupils, to enable our teachers to get to know girls as individuals. Relationships between staff and pupils are characterised by mutual respect and warmth.

We are inspired by our heritage of academically ambitious teaching but empowered by modernity. Our aim is that, as adults, our pupils will have the intellectual curiosity and personal resilience to adapt to and shape an increasingly fast-paced and dynamic world. This is an exciting time for the school following the opening of the Ideas Hub, a space designed to facilitate creative thinking, pioneering use of technology and interdisciplinary learning. A space that will place NLCS at the heart of a web of deep connections to the wider world.
