St Helena School Website

Welcome!

St Helena School is an 11 to 16, mixed comprehensive school with specialist status as a Media Arts College. We have over 1000 students with a wide range of abilities. We are proud of our comprehensive status and this is central to our vision for the school. We want every learner to achieve their best, irrespective of their prior achievements.

After another ‘best-ever’ set of GCSE results in 2009, I believe that we are now entering a particularly exciting period of time for St Helena. Construction is underway on our fantastic new Learning Resource Centre, which will open in 2010. We have another four computer rooms in place from this September, further increasing the opportunities our students have to enhance their learning through ICT. Our curriculum continues to develop, with this year’s introduction of additional ICT options and the new Creative & Media Diploma at Key Stage 4. There are even more community projects taking place this year. And, of course, we are maintaining our fine tradition of extra-curricular activities for students to enjoy, covering a whole range of sports, music and drama along with more eclectic interests like stop-motion animation, rock-climbing and strategy games.

I am proud to be a part of the St Helena school community as it continues to go from strength to strength. This website will tell you more about who we are, what we do and where we're going, but please feel free to contact the school directly if you have any specific questions.
