We are grateful to the editors at Muddy Stilettos for featuring both our Junior School and our Senior & Sixth Form, and for the care taken in capturing the detail and quirks of daily life across the school. If you are getting to know NLCS, we hope reading both reviews offers a helpful view of our community from 4 to 18.
SENIOR SCHOOL “WORD ON THE GROUND
Parents describe NLCS as academic but far warmer than its reputation implies. Girls are friendly, articulate and collaborative, not cutthroat. The environment is fast-paced but calm; ambitious but not pressured; elite but never elitist. Visitors often comment that NLCS ‘feels like a university campus’ – not in scale, but in intellectual vibrancy.
Families appreciate the balance between academic stretch, pastoral care and a co-curricular offering that is, frankly, vast. And the girls themselves? They describe the school as challenging, exciting and full of opportunities – a place where cleverness is celebrated rather than hidden.

JUNIOR SCHOOL “WORD ON THE GROUND”
Parents adore the school for its mix of intellectual fizz, kindness and fun. The consensus is that NLCS Juniors produces girls who are confident but not arrogant, thoughtful but not over-serious, articulate but not precocious. They’re bright, lively and, crucially, happy. It’s not for every child. The pace is brisk, and the environment suits the innately curious. For girls who love learning, love friendship and love being busy, it’s a winner.
