The first private secondary school in Islington has appointed a headteacher.

North Bridge House, which is set to open in Canonbury Place in September, has named Jonathan Taylor to run the £3.5million school.

Mr Taylor, a former awarding body examiner who comes from a college in China, said: “I am thrilled to have been chosen to lead the school, and it is a privilege to have the opportunity to play a key role in shaping the next stages of this wonderful school.”
