Hellesdon High School and Sixth Form is an ambitious and caring school. We provide a great variety of academic, social and cultural opportunities designed to help our young people to enjoy, achieve and succeed in all aspects of their life. Learning is at the heart of all we do. Through high quality teaching, we ensure every student's talents and abilities are catered for, allowing them to not just excel academically but also to develop skills which allow them to become more independent in their learning, in preparation for life beyond school. Our school also has the benefit of being part of The Wensum Trust which, alongside its strategic partners, continues to offer new and exciting opportunities for our students in an ever-changing world.
Have a fantastic evening Y13 at your Leavers Ball tonight at The Assembly House, Norwich. Goodbye and Good Luck to you all, we wish you all the very best for your next steps and the future.

Afterwards we went on a mini bug hunt and found more creepy crawlies! The group were so brilliant with all of the creatures that they found, being kind and gentle with them. They are such a delight to work with!
