Nine pupils from Hill House School recently travelled to Kingswood School in Bath for the nationally renowned BISMUN Conference.

In an historic move for Hill House, girls’ rugby matches were recently played for the first time in fixtures against Hall Cross Academy.  It was a momentous occasion and the Hill House girls were able to test their skills and rugby ability in closely contested matches.

Pupils at Hill House were delighted to see the Department of Education announce this week that Hill House has again been established as the top performing school or college at A Level in the Doncaster area.

With 21% of Sixth Formers achieving the top grades of AAB last summer, with an average points score of 40, this places the school at the very top of the league tables for Doncaster.

Headmaster David Holland said ‘last year’s cohort and their teachers worked so very hard, and these results show the value of small class sizes, expert teaching, attention to the individual and knowledge of each pupils’ strengths and areas for development. We are thrilled that the 21% of top grades is more than 3 times higher than the nearest local school or college, and 5% higher than the national average. We are also delighted that these outstanding results allowed over 95% of last year’s pupils to go to their chosen university.’

Assistant Head Caroline Rogerson said ‘when you add these excellent results to the outstanding opportunities for leadership, sport, music and drama, it is clear why Hill House Sixth is thriving and attracting ever increasing interest from pupils from Doncaster and beyond.’
