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.

📣 On Tuesday our Year 6 pupils had an unforgettable trip to Haden Hill House!
They stepped back in time to experience life on the Home Front during WWII, taking part in hands-on activities such as evacuation drills and air raid simulations, and they also learnt about rationing for food and clothing.
This immersive day brought history to life, allowing the pupils to understand the resilience and challenges faced during the war. Not only did the trip deepen their classroom learning, but it also encouraged teamwork and creativity! 💪📚
