Welcome to Hydesville Tower School

Hydesville Tower School has been leading independent education in Walsall, for girls and boys aged 3 to 16, since 1952.

We successfully inspire children from our exceptional teaching Nursery to our nurturing Prep and hugely successful Senior schools. Small class sizes, excellent pastoral support and academic success sets us apart.

Excellent Academics


Achieve academic success with excellent GCSE results consistently placing us in the top three in league tables. Hydesville Tower Senior School is ranked 9th in the UK and holds the prestigious position of the best in the West Midlands according to the Daily Telegraph’s GCSE league tables for small independent schools.


Holistic Approach


Emotional wellbeing is just as important as academic achievement and we want our pupils to be confident, compassionate and capable young people. We believe it’s crucial to develop a child’s character through teaching transferable skills that will help them to thrive in the future.


Solid Values


We have a strong family ethos, and instil a sense of great pride in our school community. We look after, support and encourage each other to always be our best.

My child is taken care of, my opinion and input matters to them, and I think school provides a good bridge between home and school.

 – Parent, Hydesville Tower School

Meet our Headteacher

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!

We held a really successful Mark Making workshop last week, for parents to learn more about how to support their children at home.

At Hydesville Nursery we value the importance of mark making in the early years and developing pre-writing skills. Mark making is where a child commences their journey towards writing, therefore activities to promote the development of hand eye co-ordination and fine motor skills are crucial in order to be able to hold a pencil and other writing tools.

We hope everyone who came along enjoyed the interactive session and came away with lots of hints and tips. Thank you for your ongoing support!

An excellent location to learn

Hydesville Tower School seamlessly blends historic charm with modern amenities. Our converted houses, some dating back to 1901, house classrooms, a dining room, and offices, featuring original Victorian details like stained glass windows and floor tiles. Despite our central location, we've maximised outdoor space with direct access to the nearby Walsall Arboretum.

Ongoing investments ensure top-notch facilities, including a recent transformation of our school hall into a fully functioning theatre. With wireless coverage throughout, technology is seamlessly integrated into every aspect of learning.

Hydesville integrates individual academic attainment with a caring nurturing environment. They have good academic outcomes and very friendly, approachable staff.
