North Halifax Grammar School (NHGS) is a single school Academy with circa 1,253 pupils.
NHGS is a co-ed, state-funded selective grammar school with c1253 students (11-18 years), established in 1959 and operated under an Academy Trust since 2011. It is located within the ward of Illingworth/Mixenden, bordering some of England's most deprived neighbourhoods. Students sit an entrance test for admission into Year 7 and come from approximately 80 primary schools.
Historically, we are one of the lowest funded schools in the country and the lowest in Calderdale.
Our motto is "Living to Learn and Learning to Live". Our students live (even love) to learn and this is reflected in our academic performance. However, we know that living is not just about good grades. We have a longstanding commitment to developing the whole person through exceptional pastoral care, social and moral development and extra-curricular activities.
The ICT Support at the School is currently provided in house and this is predominantly a reactive service to 'keep the lights on'. The school is at a stage where a forward thinking vision, direction of travel and whole school strategy is needed, that is informed by the schools needs now and in the future.
As such, the school is taking the opportunity to go to market to identify a forward-looking partner to support them in the delivery and development of their ICT provision over the next five years.
