At Norham High School, our motto is ‘Pride, Determination, Strength’.
Norham High School is a diverse family – a team that works together to secure the dreams and aspirations of the children who are at heart of our community. Our pupils wear a lion on their uniform as a symbol of our school, its ethos and its ambition. We are a loyal and proud family who work together for the good of one another and we have pride in the work that we do.
Both staff and pupils show determination in every aspect of their work - only the best will do. As a staff team, we are determined to provide an excellent, broad curriculum for our pupils that will give them opportunities to excel in life. Our pupils - your children - will themselves build a sense of determination and resolve to achieve ambitious goals throughout their school career, and beyond, as they enter further education and the world of work.
We find strength in each other, but also in ourselves. The efficacy that will lead to success is instilled in our pupils from the day they arrive at our school, wearing our lion. Strength of character - the strength to succeed, to endure, to care for one another when times are hard, and to overcome is what makes Norham High School pupils unique. Our pupils stand up for what they believe in, and they use voice in lessons and around school to help us make Norham High School even better for the community we proudly serve.
We believe that every child has the right to an excellent quality of education and an enriching experience - it is our role to support them, both academically and pastorally, so that they grow to be the very best version of themselves. At the heart of our school are our family values and collegiate approach; we support each other and invest in pupils and staff alike, providing a wealth of opportunities to all.
This includes Chromebooks and equipment for all pupils, refurbished classrooms / social areas, new technology for classrooms, and a unique blend of welfare support that promotes a positive work-life balance - colleagues' efforts are genuinely recognised and rewarded.
Behaviour is strong, with exceptional conduct around the school as pupils and staff greet visitors - and each other - with kindness and respect. Pupils take pride in their appearance and are smart, professional, and fully equipped for their learning. Pupils also recognise the efforts of staff and appreciate all we do. In a recent inspection, a pupil told an Ofsted inspector “we are like a massive family”, as such, we look forward to meeting you.
