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.

Nursery Marking Making Event
Mark making is the very first step in your child’s journey to writing. It helps children express their ideas, build fine motor skills, and develop the confidence they need for early literacy. The children will have the opportunity to explore a range of fun, hands-on mark making activities alongside you, whilst discovering how everyday play supports early writing skills.
We would love for you to join us on Friday 17th October at 2pm to share in this special experience with your child.
