Posted on: 5/03/2026World Book DayWorld Book Day Of course, the term wouldn't be complete without our annual World Book Day celebrations, and the whole school absolutely buzzed with excitement! The library was the hub of the action, hosting a brain-teasing book emoji quiz with some fantastic prizes up for grabs. We also ran popular competitions to design a bookmark and a National Book Token. A massive congratulations to Owen K - his winning bookmark design has been digitally recreated and is being printed for the library. We’ve also got our fingers tightly crossed for Scarlett C; her stunning book token design has been entered into the national competition, and we are so hopeful it wins a stash of tokens for her and Amery Hill!

Posted on: 11/03/2026Year 9 Students Explore the ‘Rule of Law’ with Hampshire PoliceTo enrich our ongoing British Values module within the Education for Life curriculum, Year 9 students were visited this week by Liam Davies of Hampshire Police. It was a fantastic opportunity for our pupils to bridge the gap between classroom theory and the real-world application of the legal system. The highlight of the session saw two of our students lead a Q&A, interviewing Liam on the Rule of Law and its essential role in our society. The year group then engaged in a lively discussion, asking probing questions about policing, justice, and the law. It was a fantastic opportunity for our students to connect their classroom learning with the real world. A huge thank you to Liam for such an informative session - we look forward to seeing you again soon! View Article
Posted on: 12/05/2025Hairspray Star Inspires Amery Hill's Performing Arts StudentsThis week, Amery Hill buzzed with excitement as we welcomed Ben Anderson, an actor from the UK tour of Hairspray. Ben led three incredible workshops for our current and future Dance and Drama stars. Ben guided students through choreographing and performing steps and scenes, sharing vital insights into musical theatre. The sessions included workshopping performances under audition conditions, allowing students to refine their skills in a professional setting. We are really grateful to him for taking a break from his schedule to come and share his incredible energy and musical theatre know-how with us. The Dance Studio was full of students after school reprising the steps they had learnt with Ben, so it's safe to say his visit truly inspired those he worked with! View Article

Posted on: 14/10/2025Street Croft FarmYear 7 Geographers have been studying a unit on Food and Farming this term and to support their work they took a trip to Street Croft Farm near Herriard. Mr Constable and Hannah were amazing hosts and so happy to show the students around the farm. The students had been learning in class about traditional pastoral and arable farming and the way that modern farms are now diversifying. Street Croft Farm is an excellent example of this with a farm shop, cafe and on-site butchers. The farm also had a wide range of animals: donkeys, cattle, goats, pigs and chickens. Some are kept for traditional pastoral farming but many simply there for the visitors to the farm to enjoy. This was the first whole school Year 7 trip that our new Amery students had been on and their behaviour and attitude was excellent. Let's hope that they enjoy many more such visits in the future during their time here. View Article
Posted on: 21/08/2025GCSE Results 2025We extend our warmest congratulations to the Amery Hill School Class of 2025 for their superb results in their GCSE exams. Their results indicate even better progress than that made in previous years, and fantastic attainment. This year group has impressed us all with their determination, focus and positivity, both in their studies and in the way they have contributed to the wider life of our school. They have consistently supported one another and embodied the kindness and consideration that underpin our strong sense of community, at the heart of Alton – a wonderful legacy to the school. At Amery Hill, our motto is ‘Education for Life’. We aim for every student to leave us as a confident, independent and resilient young adult, ready to thrive in the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead. The Class of 2025 have lived out these values, working in partnership with our dedicated staff and with the invaluable encouragement of their families. Their results are a clear reflection of what can be achieved when aspiration is matched with commitment and character. We are incredibly proud of what our students have accomplished. Their success once again highlights the importance of our core values: Independence, Creativity, Active Learning, Resilience and Empathy. With these qualities, the Class of 2025 are extremely well-placed to embrace their next steps – whether that be college, apprenticeships or training – and to do so with confidence and purpose. They started their Amery journeys in uncertain times but now have given themselves certainty about their futures. It has been a privilege to work with this fantastic year group - they will be remembered for their energy, determination and good humour. On behalf of the whole school community, I wish them every success, health and happiness as they begin this exciting new chapter in their lives. R Jeckells HeadteacherView Article
