NORTHOLT HIGH SCHOOL
Our new headteacher
Marion Budd looks
forward to welcoming you
to Northolt High School.
THRIVING AND
FORWARD-LOOKING
“I
am absolutely delighted to be
joining the staff team at Northolt
High School as headteacher in
September 2016. I can report that
following further improvements last
academic year, results this summer are
set to continue our upward trend. This
is why we have been identified by the
Department for Education as one of the
top 100 non-selective state schools in
the country for students’ achievement
of 5 or more GCSEs including English
and Maths at grades A* - C. Our
Sixth Form also continues to thrive
with results which are propelling our
students into top universities.
“Since my appointment in May 2016,
I have made many visits to the school.
Each time, I have been struck by the
positive and friendly attitudes shown
by Northolt High students towards their
peers, their teachers and their learning.
Students at Northolt are fiercely (and
justly) proud of their achievements at
school. They work respectfully and
collaboratively together in lessons and
are a joy to meet in the corridors and
playgrounds around the school. Visitors
often comment on the warmth of their
welcome to Northolt High School and this
is just one sign of our thriving community.
“An exciting part of my headship
at Northolt High School will be to
oversee our new school building
project. Our spacious site means that
building work can take place without
the need to relocate students to
temporary accommodation. I look
forward to the excitement of seeing
state of the art brand new buildings in
construction next academic year, for us
to move into during 2018.
“Finally, I would like to pay tribute to
Gloria Lowe, the outgoing headteacher
at Northolt High School. She leaves
Northolt to take up headship at
another London school, having
transformed Northolt High since her
arrival in 2012. Under her leadership,
academic standards have risen year
after year and students’ confidence
in themselves and their learning has
soared. I know that I am inheriting a
thriving, forward looking, successful
school which serves its community well
and am looking forward to continuing
our drive for even more improvements.
“I look forward to meeting as many
prospective parents as possible at our
Open Evening in October 2016.”
