From the Nower Hill High School
Nower Hill is a happy, busy and highly successful 11-18 school, which welcomes all children from our local community, whatever their ability or background. We are here to ensure that every student achieves as much as possible during their time at our school, eventually leaving us as the best version of themselves they can possibly be. We want our students to enjoy their education so that they value learning, both in and out of the classroom, and can look back fondly on their time at Nower Hill. Our vision is to develop 'world class' students who are as well prepared as possible for the next stage in their life; articulate, ambitious young people with the strength of character, the confidence and the qualifications to compete in a highly competitive world. In return we ask you to bring only one thing with you: ambition. Ambition for yourself if you are a student and ambition for the children if you are a parent, carer or member of staff.
Alongside academic excellence, we place a strong emphasis on impeccable manners, oracy, excellent behaviour, smartness of appearance, hard work and most importantly, kindness. Our vision, aim, values and objectives may be found here School Vision.
We hope that our website gives you an insight into Nower Hill, and we look forward to meeting you or your child at some point in the future.
With very best wishes,
Louise Voden Headteacher
