On behalf of all the Staff and Trustees at Amery Hill School we would like to congratulate and state how proud we are of all our Year 11 students, the Class of 2022, for another outstanding set of GCSE results.

Over the past couple of years in particular, the Class of 2022 have had to consistently demonstrate the School’s core values of independence, creativity, active learning, resilience and empathy to ensure they were in the best possible position to achieve their very best qualifications.

The outstanding results included:

  • 78% achieved grades 9-4 (standard pass) in English and Maths
  • 55% achieved grades 9-5 (strong pass) in English and Maths
  • 20% achieved grades 9-7 in English and Maths
  • 107 Grade 9/Distinction grades across a range of subjects

Our students' attitude and commitment, working alongside our incredibly dedicated staff, has now ensured that each and every one of them is in the very best place to take those positive next steps into college, apprenticeships or training.

Mr Mann, Headteacher, said “We are incredibly proud as a school community of the achievements of the Class of 2022. Our students are exceptional, inspiring and talented young people who have yet again demonstrated all the values and qualities that Amery Hill School stands for; the resilience they have all shown under such conditions is remarkable. On behalf of the entire school we wish them all every success, health and happiness for the future.”

Northanger House are Champions!

Northanger House are Champions!

One year ago, we launched the House Championship with great excitement and some trepidation on how the House system and accompanying House Championship would unfold. It is with great delight that I reflect back on the events of the year, and share how each House has started to form its own identity, and carved out success in its own way through the year. In addition, I would like to share with you (if you haven’t heard already) the details of the incredibly close battle to claim the title of first winners of the Amery Hill House Championship.   Our student leaders of House Captains, Vice House Captains and House Representatives, have been instrumental in fostering the pastoral side of our House system, in the creation of content for the virtual common rooms on Google Classrooms, as well as helping lead their House in competitions and big events like Sports Day. We are always proud of our students at Amery Hill School, and these young leaders have been exceptional pioneers in the House system.   Last year, with our four great Houses set out in front of us, we pondered what would be inside - and I am delighted to report each House is bursting to the rafters with talent and success.   Hartfield and Pemberley hold the record for the most ICARE points, with Hartfield just taking the lead at the end of the year by just seven House points. The friendly rivalry between Hartfield and Pemberley continued on Sports Day with Hartfield taking the top position.   Pemberley holds the inter house sports record for autumn and spring, only to be beaten by Northanger in the summer rounders series, and Pemberley were second in Sports Day - an all round great sporting achievement from this House.   Mansfield has the greatest musician representation with many members contributing to the amazing music concerts and performances throughout the year. They won the House noticeboard competition, and the Year 7 bake off technical challenge - an innovative house certainly! This creativity was put to good use, as Mansfield won the second gold event for the parade on Sports Day. Northanger have proved to be quiz whizzes, winning every inter house Blooket battle, raising the most for charity - be it cash for Hello Yellow or donations for the Alton Food Bank, and performed particularly well in the science challenges set in class through the year.   The final standings were incredibly close. Northanger entered the final few weeks of term with an imposing lead, but the other Houses were not deterred, and the difference between first and second place was just 193 points, and between second and third, 304 points. Ultimately Northanger prevailed, despite Hartfield giving them a run for their money!   A huge congratulations to Northanger House with a very well-deserved victory - they certainly found the key to success, just like their House motto. After a special assembly where Northanger were able to raise the House Cup, hear congratulatory messages from their Head of House, Mr J Eacott, and the House Captains, all the Northanger students enjoyed Period 6 off timetable with some treats and time to relax and enjoy each other’s company as a House team.   The whole student body has been a great sport this year, and whilst there inevitably is some disappointment when success is not as forthcoming as hoped, September brings us a reset of the points, we welcome new Year 7 students into the fold and the adventure begins all over again.

Prom 2022

Prom 2022

Amery Hill’s Year 11 students recently celebrated the end of their secondary school education at Prom 2022 with an evening of enjoyable entertainment. There are some key moments in a school year which create a variety of emotions and the Year 11 leavers’ event is one such occasion. Having worked so hard over the past few months for their GCSE exams, it was lovely that the students could celebrate together. Everything was perfectly in place. The school was transformed for a memorable evening by staff and with a red carpet arrival (kindly facilitated by the Alton House Hotel, thank you), the scene was set for the students’ arrival. What a spectacle it was! From the suits, the bow ties and the beautifully elegant prom dresses, the students looked fab-u-lous and arrived in style! Being the first year group to sit formal exams after a global pandemic was never going to be easy. However, Year 11 have shown huge amounts of resilience and commitment to their studies and their Prom celebration was well deserved. Progress Leader, Mr James White, added “I am so proud of all of Year 11. The way in which they have tackled the last three years head on has been admirable. Prom 2022 was such a lovely evening and they all looked so smart and grown up. A highlight for me was seeing the whole year group linking arms in a big circle dancing together. What a proud moment that was.” Students enjoyed an evening of mocktails, an excellent disco, dancing, street food and entertainment from a professional magician. They had a fantastic evening which was rounded off with emotional goodbyes. Mr White added, “I wish every one connected to the Class of 2022 the very best for the future. These students have been a credit to the school and I know they will all go on to achieve amazing things.” Prom 2022 Galleries - Click HereView Article
