As part of this partnership, North Bridge House Regent’s Park Prep and North Bridge House Hampstead became Alleyn’s schools. Alleyn’s Regent’s Park successfully transitioned in September 2025, welcoming pupils aged 3–11. Alleyn’s Hampstead followed in September 2026, offering an exceptional education for pupils aged 2–18 and bringing the distinctive Alleyn’s ethos of academic excellence, creativity, and care to north London. The school now has an exciting opportunity for an experienced Admin Officer to join our fantastic team.
