North London Collegiate School is a selective independent day school for girls founded in 1850 in Camden Town, and now in the London Borough of Harrow.

The Good Schools Guide called the school an "Academically stunning outer London school in a glorious setting, which has demonstrated its refusal to rest on its laurels by introducing the IB. Ideal for girls confident of their academic ability with an appetite for all the other opportunities too."1

History

The North London Collegiate School now admits girls from the ages of 4 to 18 and was founded by pioneering girls' educator Frances Mary Buss in 1850. It is generally recognised as the first ambitious girls' school in the United Kingdom, as it was the first to offer girls the same educational opportunities as boys.

George Bernard Shaw's mother was a director of music at the school, followed in 1908 by J.B. Manson's wife, Lilian, whose ambitious revival of Purcell's Dido and Aeneas in 1910 gained coverage in The Times.2

North London Collegiate is among the most academically successful schools in England, having been placed in the top five in the Daily Telegraph exam league tables every year for over a decade.clarify It has been an International Baccalaureate World School since October 2003.3 The first year that it offered the International Baccalaureate, it had the highest average mark in the country and five of its girls were among only ninety students worldwide to score the maximum possible IB score of 45 marks.citation needed
