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.

Last week, we celebrated our Prep School pupils who tackled the Times Tables Challenge with enthusiasm, focus and a real drive to succeed – and we couldn’t be prouder!
It was fantastic to see pupils challenging themselves, supporting each other and celebrating their progress. Their hard work and determination are a real reflection of our values – and their speedy times tables recall was seriously impressive.
Well done to everyone who took part – you`re all times tables stars!
