Our High Achievement

Complementing our celebration of success is a determination throughout the school to maintain our excellent record of high achievement across a range of activities. Whether we are sending students to study at Oxford or Cambridge, or winning gold medals in the English Schools Athletics Championships; having our paintings hung by the Prince of Wales at Hampton Court, or winning study scholarships to Kenya, Hessle students are pushing back the boundaries of excellence with each successive year.

An they are supported in this by a team of staff who are equally committed to continuous improvement. Every department implements its own programme - whether of lesson observations to refine teaching skills; lunchtime coaching in specialist techniques to enhance individual examination performance; computerised progress mapping to refine target setting; or devising specific units of work to close a gender gap in a GCSE area.
