Ealing School Wins Top Education Award | ||||
Notting Hill and Ealing High School impresses in competition for independents
Ealing's Notting Hill & Ealing High School (NHEH) has won the coveted title of Senior School of the Year. The school was chosen due to its commitment to giving students a voice. In February 2020, a group of sixth formers led a campaign known as #SetTheExample to raise awareness about female under-representation in film – this resulted in a three-day festival across the entire senior school. There are over 300 leadership roles which girls at the school can apply for from years 7-13 and more than 100 clubs and activities, enabling students to discover their passions and interests daring beyond classroom learning. Matthew Shoults, Headmaster of Notting Hill & Ealing High School said, “I’m just delighted for the school and for the girls. This award shows how the girls have taken on leadership roles – the way they organised our film festival was exemplary. It encouraged girls to be filmmakers and inspired them about world of filmmaking. Most importantly the students themselves organised so much of the festival – it’s an example of putting themselves forward and believing they can do it.” Annemarie Flanagan
