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: 13/05/2025Equipping Amery Hill Students with Essential Life Skills: MyBnk Delivers Financial Literacy WorkshopToday, our students at Amery Hill embarked on a crucial journey into the world of personal finance, thanks to an incredibly engaging financial literacy workshop delivered by the fantastic team at MyBnk! In an increasingly complex financial landscape, empowering young people with the skills to manage their money effectively is more vital than ever. MyBnk, a leading UK charity specialising in financial education for young people, provided our students with a hands-on experience designed to do just that.

Posted on: 26/09/2025Year 7 Students Celebrate European Day of LanguagesExcitement was high at Amery Hill School today as our Year 7 MFL students marked the European Day of Languages with a special lesson dedicated to celebrating linguistic diversity. The day, observed annually across Europe, is a brilliant opportunity to highlight the continent's rich tapestry of languages and encourage lifelong language learning. Our Year 7 cohort certainly rose to the occasion with enthusiasm. Students dived into a fascinating session where they became word detectives, exploring the unexpected origins of common words. They had a go at trying out some new, fun phrases from various European tongues and discussed the profound connection between language and culture. A key part of the lesson focused on understanding why language is a key to unlocking the world. It was brilliant to see the students' genuine interest as they made connections between different cultures and realised just how many European languages share common roots. Our Year 7 students were fantastic - their enthusiasm for exploring shared history and common linguistic heritage was truly infectious. The celebration successfully underscored the importance of learning languages and embracing the diverse cultures that enrich our school community and the wider world. 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
