Ofsted: a Good school
Following our latest Ofsted inspection in November 2012, HHS received a resounding 'Good' verdict. >> Read the Ofsted report.
Exam success... again!
For the third year running, HHS has enjoyed record GCSE results. In 2012, 72% of our students achieved five or more GCSEs at grade A*-C, including English and maths. Across all the subjects, 85% gained five A*-C grades. Our Sixth Form students also did extremely well once again, with an excellent average points score of 777.
We are proud of all of our students’ achievements, which are a testament to their hard work and that of their teachers. For more details, please see our Key Information.
2013 HHS PRODUCTION : The SOUND OF MUSIC

The talented young cast of The Sound of Music
The snowy peaks and flowery meadows of Hellesdon came alive with The Sound of Music from 4-8 March, with the Performing Arts Department's fantastic 2013 production.
Congratulations to Miss Stanley, Mr Brown, the wonderful cast and their families on another superb and memorable performance.
Pastoral care
At Hellesdon, we take pride in knowing every child as an individual. Pastoral care is organized through Heads of Year, Tutors and Mentors, with all our staff playing a part. The School has a friendly atmosphere and a well-publicized anti-bullying policy.

Community
Hellesdon High is a lively school with active links with the local community and our feeder primary schools; activities and courses for adults are also based at the School.
Sport
We offer a huge range of sporting activities to all students, including training in leadership skills, opportunities to take part in local leagues and competitions with other schools, and to enjoy many extracurricular clubs and activities. Our students campaigned to save School Sports Partnerships, which they felt had helped young people in our area to get into and benefit from sport.
