A typical school day at North London Grammar begins as students arrive and are welcomed by their form tutor. Each morning begins with a different mindfullness activity. This could be DEAR (Drop Everything And Read) time or a reflection on the weeks global events.
Students will then proceed to have their first lesson, led by our highly qualified and experienced teachers. Our classrooms promote active participation students are encouraged to ask questions, engage in discussions, and present to their peers to enhance confidence and develop essential language skills. Lessons are 50 minutes long during which our skilled teachers use interactive methods including online games and problem-solving activities to make learning fun and effective. Through these engaging lessons, students strengthen their understanding and build practical skills that support everyday learning.
During morning assembly, students take part in a PSHE-themed session (Personal, Social, and Health Education) led by their specialist tutors. These sessions explore topics connected to students’ learning and personal development, from real-world issues and cultural awareness to wellbeing and individual interests helping them build confidence, empathy, and a deeper understanding of the world around them. During break children have the opportunity to play outside or access the library for study and quiet reading. Or purchase snacks in the duning hall.
Lessons continue with a variety of subject, which may include Maths, Music, History, Art, or Religious Education (RE). Each class is taught by a specialist teacher with expertise in their subject area. For subjects such as Art, History, and Music & P.E. we are particularly fortunate to have members of our Senior School teaching team deliver lessons to our Junior School students. This cross-phase collaboration allows our younger learners to benefit from teachers who have an in-depth understanding of the curriculum and can introduce key skills and concepts in engaging and age-appropriate ways. After these lessons, students enjoy a 50-minute lunch break in the dining hall, where hot meals are available for those having school lunches. Teachers supervise both inside the canteen and outside in the playground, ensuring that students can enjoy a safe and enjoyable lunchtime experience. Once lunch has finished, students return to their classrooms for the final two lessons of the day, which vary throughout the week. These subjects may include Art, Spanish, Maths, Geography, PSHE, or Games At the end of the day, students are dismissed to go home. Some pupils choose to stay for our After-School Clubs, which is run by are creative enrichment team or remain in the library to complete homework. The clubs and library provide a relaxed and supportive environment where students can complete homework, engage in creative activities, or unwind after a busy day. Attendance typically lasts for up to one hour.
