PARTNERSHIPS

This academic year we have continued to nurture our range of partnerships with schools in both the independent and the maintained sectors. Our partnership work has included debating and public speaking events; academic symposia, subject specialist days; and student mentoring.

This year, we celebrated our 19th year of partnership with the Whitgift School and have also worked with Eton, The Ark Academy, Sacred Heart and The Michaela Community School amongst others.

These partnerships provide our students with knowledge, skills and experience well beyond the ambitious programme already offered at North London.

Working with students from other schools broadens their outlook on the world, provokes thought and discussion, and deepens academic and personal confidence. LONDON ACADEMY OF EXCELLENCE TOTTENHAM – PARTNERSHIP STUDY DAY

In September 2019 we were delighted to welcome Year 12 Economics students from the London Academy of Excellence Tottenham (LAET).

This state Sixth Form opened in 2017 and is already providing an academically rich and ambitious education for local teenagers; this summer, the first cohort of Year 13s achieved outstanding A level results.

We are proud to be an official partner school for LAET and we currently enjoy many links with them, including helping with preparation for university interviews and inviting their students to many of our subject conferences and symposia.

NLCS AND WHITGIFT SCHOOL – CROSS CURRICULAR SYMPOSIUM

Students worked together in subject areas such as Medicine and Natural Sciences; Economics and Business; Politics and Geography; and English and Psychology. NLCS and Whitgift have enjoyed this Year 13 partnership for 19 years and judging by how much academic stretch and intellectual and social exchange was in evidence at the Symposium, the bond between our two schools proves to be as fruitful as ever.

CLIMATE CHANGE CONFERENCE

In March 2020, we held our first ever partnership day on the environment, an area the School has been forging ahead with this academic year. Year 7 students from NLCS were joined by boys from Queen Elizabeth’s School for a day of collaboration on their responses to the climate crisis.

INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE WORKSHOP

Year 10 students were joined by pupils from Abbot’s Hill School and Palmer’s Green High School for a workshop introducing the principles and practices of the International Baccalaureate. Following an introductory lecture on aesthetics, the girls broke into groups to consider how we might evaluate questions of style and taste.
