Mission
Our mission is to inspire each student to discover their unique voice, potential, future path and to be the best version of themselves.
Our Purpose
Our Purpose is to orient young people to a rapidly changing world and to help them find their direction; to help each student discover who they are, what they care deeply about and how to successfully navigate their way through life.
Ethos
At North London Collegiate Schools, we believe that with the right support and guidance students will flourish academically and socially. We never ‘label’ students or put ceilings on what they can achieve. NLCS schools are a place where children discover what they can do, rather than what they can’t, in a supportive, collegiate environment. Our teachers guide their students to recognise academic excellence and realise that it is attainable. We strive to provide our students with an exceptional platform for life after school, as evidenced by the many Old North Londoners currently studying at the world’s leading universities, in public positions across film and media, and in a leadership role within the arts, sciences, engineering, law and commerce.
