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.

Nower Hill High School exists to enhance the future life chances and opportunities of all our students, whatever their starting point, by providing a centre of educational excellence at the heart of our community in which all our students can fulfil their potential. We aspire to be a world class school developing world class students.

Our aim is to realise our mission by a relentless focus on the development of highly literate, articulate, numerate, resilient and confident students who are equipped with the ambition, qualities and qualifications necessary to compete in the 21st century global economy.

We will develop all our students better if we value and emphasise the importance of

• Impeccable manners: Honesty, the appreciation of diversity
• Hard work: A can-do attitude to overcome adversity, resilience, an enjoyment of learning
• Articulate Oracy: Knowledge, literacy and numeracy, creativity
• Smartness of appearance: Personal pride, a healthy lifestyle
• Excellent behaviour: Self-discipline, high self-esteem and self-respect, integrity
• Kindness: Empathy, respect, teamwork
