North London Collegiate School

The client

North London Collegiate School (NLCS) is one of the UK’s leading independent day schools for girls aged 4–18, with a legacy of academic excellence that stretches back to 1850. More than a place of learning, NLCS is an environment intentionally designed to nurture curiosity, confidence and individuality. Through ambitious teaching and opportunities beyond the classroom, the school encourages students to think deeply, question boldly and grow into their most authentic selves.

Supporting a leading school’s connection with its community

Our relationship with NLCS began with the redesign of their award-winning alumni magazine online. What started as a focused digital project quickly developed into a broader collaboration, supporting multiple areas across the school.

Working closely with teams across Alumni Relations, Fundraising and the wider school community, we’ve helped bring a range of communications and initiatives to life. From editorial platforms to campaign materials, our work has supported both strategic engagement and day-to-day communication with students, alumni and supporters.

Designing a bold new magazine under NLCS’s refreshed identity

We designed the first edition of The North Londoner under North London Collegiate School’s new brand identity, creating a magazine that reflects the energy and ambition of the school. Dynamic layouts, confident typography and clear storytelling helped capture the spirit of NLCS’s 175th year while engaging students, parents, staff and alumnae.

Reimagining North London Collegiate School’s magazine for a global community

We redesigned ONLINE, NLCS’s alumnae magazine, transforming it into a digital and printed platform that brings together stories from across the ONL community. The refreshed publication balances heritage with a contemporary feel and was recognised with a CASE Europe Best of Europe Region Award for its impact and engagement.

Ongoing creative support for a world-class school

Since the beginning of our partnership, we’ve delivered a wide range of creative and digital work for NLCS. This has included the design and development of their alumni magazine online, alongside campaign materials and communication assets supporting fundraising and alumni engagement initiatives. We’ve also produced branded materials for events and community activities, including items such as selfie frames and other visual assets used across the school’s programmes.

Through this ongoing collaboration, we’ve become a flexible creative partner to the NLCS team—providing design, digital and campaign support that helps the school connect with its community and bring its initiatives to life.
