Down on the Farm!
Posted on: 27/11/2024

Down on the Farm!

The traditional annual Year 7 Geography visit to Stubbs Farm took place last week with students able to experience the sights, sounds and smells of a real working farm during a half-day tour. Stubbs Farm, near Kingsley, has been welcoming students from Amery Hill for over 40 years and Mr Stephens and his family made them all very welcome again this year. Situated in the beautiful countryside of the South Downs National Park, Stubbs Farm is a mixed farm with arable and pastoral parts and the teacher-led guided walk allowed students to ask questions about the site, landscape and machinery used on the farm and learn in more detail where their food comes from.  The visit supplemented and enhanced the work the students have been completing on ‘Food and Farming’ in school. The highlight, as always, was the winter quarters of the beef cattle. Here, Mr Stephens took time to explain to the students how the cattle are raised and prepared for market.  Students left the farm with a stronger understanding of farming in the UK, the challenges it faces in the future and how their food is actually produced. The students will be using the notes that they made on the day as part of their next assessed piece of work. A big thank you to everyone at Stubbs Farm who made us so welcome.        View Article

GCSE Results 2024

Once again, students at Amery Hill School have done themselves proud! We offer huge congratulations to our ‘Class of 2024’ for their fantastic GCSE results. Throughout their time at our school, the students of this year group have shown grit and genuine commitment to their studies, and have set an excellent example, both through these qualities, and through their kindness and consideration to each other, and to other members of the school community. At Amery Hill, our school motto is ‘Education for Life’. We want our students to leave us as positive and confident individuals, who feel absolutely ready for their next steps in life, and the challenges they may encounter. And, despite two disrupted years of secondary  education as a result of the pandemic, working alongside dedicated staff, and with strong parental support, our students have shown that strength of character, aspiration and determination can achieve. We are delighted by their success and believe that it again demonstrates the importance of the school’s core values of Independence, Creativity, Active Learning, Resilience and Empathy. Our ‘Class of 2024’ is now well placed to move beyond the school gates and is in the very best place to head onto college, apprenticeships or work-based training. Although I have only worked with this cohort of students since I joined Amery Hill in September 2023, I have thoroughly enjoyed my time with them, and alongside all members of our school community, wish them the very best of luck, and success and happiness in the future.   R Jeckells HeadteacherView Article
