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: 9/03/2025Amery Hill Tops Happiest Schools Survey ‘The happiest secondary schools, ranked by Ofsted. Where’s yours?’ was the title of an article published on Sunday (9/3/25) by The Sunday Times*. We are delighted to see that Amery Hill School has been ranked joint top in Hampshire with three other secondary schools, with a happiness score of 95% compared to the national average score of 83%. “Achieving success in public examinations is always going to be important and something that the majority of parents will consider when choosing a secondary school for their child,” Mr Rob Jeckells, Headteacher at Amery Hill School commented, “but this survey also tells us that parents across the country are clear that academic success should not come at the expense of their child’s happiness and wellbeing.” He went on to add, "At Amery Hill School, we value the importance of both student wellbeing and academic excellence, and are proud of our reputation as a school that delivers these things within an ambitious educational setting that is exciting, enjoyable and accessible to all." *The Sunday Times analysed five years of Parent View data — surveys that parents fill out on Ofsted’s website about their children’s schools, with more than 500,000 doing so every year — to find some of the happiest in the country. The Sunday Times looked at Parent View analysis between 2020 and 2025 and chose the year in which the largest number of surveys had been completed, which tended to be the year of their Ofsted inspection. Schools with at least 500 places and with surveys completed by at least 100 parents in a single year were included in the survey. View Article
Posted on: 16/07/2025Trip to BerlinStudents from Amery Hill have returned from an exhilarating and deeply enriching trip to Berlin, a journey described by many as "Amazing!" The recent excursion to the German capital offered a unique blend of historical discovery, cultural immersion, and invaluable life lessons, leaving a lasting positive impression on all who participated. What's more, for our GCSE History enthusiasts, the trip served as a phenomenal real-world textbook, bringing their Germany 1890-1945: Democracy and Dictatorship and Conflict and Tension: The Cold War, 1945–1991 units vividly to life.

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
