At HNS we pride ourselves on our outstanding, highly motivated teachers who are committed to providing the best education to all students. Positive relationships between teachers and pupils will build on the high quality of the teaching and a central focus on discipline, respect and responsibility. Teaching is in mixed ability groups, with a focus on personalised learning and regular assessment in order that each student is appropriately supported and challenged.

The rest of the team at HNS ensure that the students and teachers are fully supported in all aspects of the school day. Our pastoral managers, learning support assistants, technical staff, office and finance team, alongside our mentors and volunteers, are essential to the smooth running of the extended day and all join teachers and students during our family style dining at lunchtime.
