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.

We were placed 9th in the ‘Top fee paying schools with no sixth form’ category. Only the top 1,600 schools across the country feature in the guide, which was compiled based on examination results - a huge accolade for us at Hydesville.

🍂 Year 1 had an exciting outdoor adventure in the arboretum, exploring the early signs of autumn! 🌳 During their autumnal walk, they asked, "are all leaves the same?" and discovered they’re not! Through leaf rubbings and careful observations with microscopes, they even matched some leaves to their corresponding trees.
Such a fun and educational day amongst nature!
