Northfields International School

Northfields aims to empower students to reach their full potential by fostering a family atmosphere and a world-class, future-ready mindset. The school seeks to nurture curious, empathetic, and passionate changemakers who can collaborate to address local and global challenges. It strives to create an inclusive, multicultural community where every student is known, valued, and supported in their unique development.

The school delivers the Cambridge Primary programme for nursery and primary students, incorporating Montessori teaching methods. The secondary curriculum includes the Middle Years Programme (MYP), IGCSEs, and the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme. These programmes are designed to provide challenging, internationally recognised qualifications that prepare students for their future.

The school offers internationally recognised qualifications through Cambridge Assessment International Education and the International Baccalaureate (IB). Students have achieved success in IB examinations, and the school provides dedicated support for university and career destinations.

The school provides a wellbeing programme that includes counselling, safeguarding, anti-bullying initiatives, and PSHE. Students are supported by a homeroom teacher system and receive dedicated careers and university guidance.

The school welcomes applications from both local and international families, with most students joining at the start of the academic year in August. Admissions are accepted throughout the year, subject to availability, and students are placed in year groups based on their age at the start of the academic year. Prospective parents are encouraged to contact the admissions office to arrange a visit and discuss their child's specific schooling needs.

The academic year typically begins in August, with the third term concluding in July. The school maintains a calendar of events that includes academic milestones, cultural and social events, and celebrations such as Founders' Day and Independence Day.
