About Hartford High School
We aim to empower every pupil, regardless of their ability, with an education that nurtures their potential, inspires lifelong learning, and equips them to thrive and contribute to their community.
With four decades of experience in education between us, we have seen first-hand the power of education to transform lives. It is a privilege to be part of a school with such a clear mission to nurture and empower every young person.
Our “vision”, “mission” and “values” are inspired by the 'Nolan Principles'. These principles resonate with our ambition of operating from a platform of excellence to support young people in our region to achieve their undoubted potential. When making decisions we will always ensure we are adhering to our “vision”, “mission” and “values”.
We are both pleased to have appointed Amran Suleman as Headteacher – a leader with deep experience in SEND, SEMH, and ASC settings. We will both work closely alongside him, providing ongoing support to ensure the school is a safe, aspirational, and inclusive place for all.
We look forward to the journey ahead and to building strong partnerships with families, staff, and the wider community.
