Nathan Ward Workshop

Posted on: March 5th 2024

Miss Burrell, Head of Art

We were very l20231214 113711ucky to have Amery Hill alumni Nathan Ward visit the department again this year to work alongside our Year 10 GCSE Fine Art and 3D Art students. Nathan is a paper and cardboard artist and began by showing the students examples of some of his recent projects which included multiple installations at the National Trust property Waddesdon Manor as part of their Christmas displays.


He then did a demonstration where he taught the students different techniques on manipulating paper and how to construct 3D shapes before they were then given the opportunity to create their own artwork to be displayed as part of an underwater scene. The students really enjoyed having the opportunity to work collaboratively and create their pieces over the course of three periods and the final displays look fantastic.

Amery Hill Tops Happiest Schools Survey
Posted on: 9/03/2025

Amery Hill Tops Happiest Schools Survey

  ‘The happiest secondary schools, ranked by Ofsted. Where’s yours?’ was the title of an article published on Sunday (9/3/25) by The Sunday Times*. We are delighted to see that Amery Hill School has been ranked joint top in Hampshire with three other secondary schools, with a happiness score of 95% compared to the national average score of 83%. “Achieving success in public examinations is always going to be important and something that the majority of parents will consider when choosing a secondary school for their child,” Mr Rob Jeckells, Headteacher at Amery Hill School commented, “but this survey also tells us that parents across the country are clear that academic success should not come at the expense of their child’s happiness and wellbeing.” He went on to add, "At Amery Hill School, we value the importance of both student wellbeing and academic excellence, and are proud of our reputation as a school that delivers these things within an ambitious educational setting that is exciting, enjoyable and accessible to all." *The Sunday Times analysed five years of Parent View data — surveys that parents fill out on Ofsted’s website about their children’s schools, with more than 500,000 doing so every year — to find some of the happiest in the country. The Sunday Times looked at Parent View analysis between 2020 and 2025 and chose the year in which the largest number of surveys had been completed, which tended to be the year of their Ofsted inspection. Schools with at least 500 places and with surveys completed by at least 100 parents in a single year were included in the survey. View Article
