Since its foundation in 1850, North London Collegiate School has been committed to providing accessible, affordable education for students of ability. To attract able students and to help those who would otherwise be unable to attend a fee-paying school, we offer bursaries and music scholarships to students joining the Senior School.

Named in honour of our second Headmistress, the Sophie Bryant Scholarship celebrates intellectual curiosity, ambition and a spirit of adventure. Sophie Bryant (1850–1922) was a pioneering academic: one of the first women to achieve a first-class degree and the first to be awarded a Doctorate of Science. A talented linguist, mathematician and philosopher, she was also a strong advocate for women’s participation in public and academic life.
She brought the same energy to pursuits beyond the classroom—cycling, rowing, hiking and mountaineering with enthusiasm rare for her time.
Sophie Bryant Scholars reflect this breadth of ambition. They are supported through a tailored mentoring and enrichment programme, designed and led by senior staff.

For current students, selection is based on ability shown during assessment, not past performance.
