What People are Saying

“HLAW is a brilliant school that takes education seriously and offers opportunities from athletics to academics. The support for me and others is outstanding, and the academy lives values you don’t find everywhere. I’d choose HLAW every time.”

Joel, Year 10

“Pupils achieve well and are prepared successfully for their next academic steps. The school fosters a sense of belonging, mutual respect and ambition among its pupils.”

Ofsted 2024

“My son has started in Year 7, and we wanted to express how happy we are with the school. He has settled in quickly [and] has thrown himself into school life thanks to the extra-curricular clubs which were up and running immediately."

Parent of Year 7 Student

“The curriculum is ambitious and outlines clearly what pupils should learn and when.”

Ofsted 2024

“Aspire helps me feel good about myself. In Year 7 it was a calm space when I felt overwhelmed – where I could talk openly and share my art. It’s helped me calm down, learn about diversity, neurodiversity and acceptance, and meet people. Aspire means equality and inspiration.”

Year 7 Student

"Your school's performance places it amongst the very best nationally, and this is a significant achievement."

Bridget Phillipson, Secretary of State for Education (2026)
