Posted on: 4/04/2025Celebrating Work Experience WeekLast month, our Year 10 students took part in Amery Hill’s first Work Experience Week for many years – and what a success it was! We want to say a huge thank you to all the parents, carers, and employers who supported our students and made these incredible opportunities possible. Our students completed placements in a wide range of industries, including accountancy, kitchen design, broking and underwriting in the London insurance market, engineering, sports coaching, manufacturing, graphic design, air traffic control systems, fire and rescue, publishing, scientific research, and architectural design – to name just a few! Throughout the week, students reflected on what they had learnt: · “Getting real life experience” · “Meeting new people and learning new skills” · “Learning pathways into law” · “Insight into how the real world works” · “Provided opportunity for interesting experiences” A special thank you also to Queen Mary’s College, who supported the week, giving students the chance to develop their soft skills while working alongside college staff. We are extremely grateful for their support. If you or your organisation would like to get involved in offering a work placement to our students in the future, we would love to hear from you!

Posted on: 21/08/2025GCSE Results 2025We extend our warmest congratulations to the Amery Hill School Class of 2025 for their superb results in their GCSE exams. Their results indicate even better progress than that made in previous years, and fantastic attainment. This year group has impressed us all with their determination, focus and positivity, both in their studies and in the way they have contributed to the wider life of our school. They have consistently supported one another and embodied the kindness and consideration that underpin our strong sense of community, at the heart of Alton – a wonderful legacy to the school. At Amery Hill, our motto is ‘Education for Life’. We aim for every student to leave us as a confident, independent and resilient young adult, ready to thrive in the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead. The Class of 2025 have lived out these values, working in partnership with our dedicated staff and with the invaluable encouragement of their families. Their results are a clear reflection of what can be achieved when aspiration is matched with commitment and character. We are incredibly proud of what our students have accomplished. Their success once again highlights the importance of our core values: Independence, Creativity, Active Learning, Resilience and Empathy. With these qualities, the Class of 2025 are extremely well-placed to embrace their next steps – whether that be college, apprenticeships or training – and to do so with confidence and purpose. They started their Amery journeys in uncertain times but now have given themselves certainty about their futures. It has been a privilege to work with this fantastic year group - they will be remembered for their energy, determination and good humour. On behalf of the whole school community, I wish them every success, health and happiness as they begin this exciting new chapter in their lives. R Jeckells HeadteacherView Article
