Welcome to Hydesville Tower School; it is my privilege to be the Headteacher of such an exciting place of learning. As parents and carers, we all want the very best for our children. It is crucial that they are encouraged to fulfil their academic potential; but of equal importance is their preparation for the everchanging world beyond education, a world presenting both challenges and opportunities.
Here at Hydesville Tower School, we are a happy community in which everyone can do and be their best. We pride ourselves on providing a breath-taking array of opportunities, not only within our traditional academic curriculum but also throughout our extensive extra-curricular and enrichment programmes.

The sun shone as Nursery set off to the outdoor classroom to enjoy their beach party.
So much fun was had as the children engaged in a variety of action-packed activities, from fun games to paddling in pools and making sandcastles.
A particularly popular feature was the role-play ice-cream parlour where the children used their imaginative and sensory skills to create their own recipes and flavours.
To top the afternoon off, everyone enjoyed a real-life ice-cream treat!
