Values and vision
Hyde High School is a popular and improving co-educational school with 1150 learners from a range of socio-economic and cultural backgrounds. Our proudly multicultural school is recognised as having a harmonious ethos where pupils show positive attitudes to learning, kindness to others and where they achieve well. We have high expectations of all members of our school community and strive to promote a true sense of pride and team spirit, where mutual respect and support are unequivocal and where learning is truly valued and at the heart of everything we do. A dedicated and talented team of staff work hard to secure the best possible outcomes for all pupils; staff morale is good and our latest Ofsted report shows a clear upwards trajectory.
Behaviour is good at Hyde. Ofsted reported:
“Pupils enjoy coming to school. They say that teachers listen to them. Pupils told us that they feel safe.”
“Teachers have high expectations of pupils' behaviour. Pupils respect staff and each other. Pupils feel valued in the school. They say that it is OK to be different and value the differences between people in the school. Pupils say that bullying rarely happens but is always dealt with well by staff.”
“Pupils have a positive approach to their learning.”
We are proud to offer a broad and balanced curriculum that promotes pupils’ spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development and that prepares them for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of 21st century life. In the context of our school, this means offering an academically robust curriculum, enhanced by more creative and practically based courses; we believe that the arts, physical education and technical subjects should be promoted as vital facets in the development of well-rounded pupils.
