Hellesdon High School is a secondary school and, on site, is a sixth form with academy status in Hellesdon, Norfolk, England. The school is part of the Wensum Trust.[1]
The headmaster duties are shared between Tom Rolfe & Mike Earl. The school incorporates 1,577 pupils with a capacity of 1290.[2]
As of October 2023, the school holds a 'Requires Improvement' OFSTED rating.[3]
Hellesdon High School has a house system; all students are split into 5 different houses, each led by a Head of House. Students can compete in House Competitions all academic year, and a trophy is presented to the winning house at the end of the summer term.[4]
Over the years, there have been numerous expansions to the school buildings, which include:
In the close of 2022, Hellesdon High School underwent a restructuring,[9] resulting in the separation of its sixth form provision. The school previously housed both secondary and sixth form education on site. With this division, Hellesdon High School now operates independently alongside Hellesdon Sixth Form, each with its own distinct identity and roles.
As part of this reorganisation, a new logo was introduced for Hellesdon Sixth Form,[10] and the former Hellesdon High School building, known as F Block, was repurposed to accommodate the new sixth form.[11]
Previously, the school shared a sixth form provision with Taverham High School, but this was phased out in September 2014.[12]
