We look after our members of staff well, so that in turn you are able to provide a great quality of education for our students. 

At Northolt High School we are committed to providing an excellent standard of education. During our two year KS3 programme, our students discover and improve their learning skills across the curriculum which enables them to develop the resilience and independence they need in order to succeed during KS4 and KS5. We retain a breadth to our curriculum offer which enables students to study a full range of subjects. Our small specialist sixth form delivers excellent results and we have a good track record of students progressing onto a range of universities including Oxbridge and Russell group institutions. 

We work in partnership with a range of organisations to help us improve the school. Examples of our partnerships include the National Literacy Trust who support us in developing of our students’ academic writing, Sycol whose school improvement system means that all staff take part in developing termly ‘innovations’, the Mayor of London who has funded a two year ‘Stepping Stones’ transition project to help our students move from primary to secondary school and the Institute of Physics who have supported our successful ‘Girls in Physics’ initiative. These are just a few of the many initiatives which support our students’ learning and progress.
