For most of its life, NLCS has been a girls' school but it's possible that boys were admitted in the early years after its foundation in 1850.

In 1856, the address would have been 46 Camden Street, Camden Town:

PS: That link shows that Robert William Buss assisted his daughter (who founded the school in their home) with educating the pupils. You might find this pdf, which includes a letter from RWB, of use because it illustrates the diversity of his interests:
