Hessle High School

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hessle High School is a high school in Hessle, near Hull, England.

The school is split over two sites. Years 7 and 8 are located on Boothferry Road, with years 9 and above on Heads Lane.

The Heads Lane site is built around Tranby House, which was originally built in 1807 by local merchant John Barkworth. The house is an almost exact duplicate of the now-demolished Tranby Lodge, and Hessle Mount, now a private junior school.

The Head of Hessle High School presently is Mr D. J. Rose, who plays an active part in helping the local community and even schools outside the East Riding of Yorkshire boundaries.

The education standards remain high above primary level, with the school having a Specialist Science College, which achieves moderate to high levels

Hessle Sixth Form is based at Hessle High School and is part of a consortium with Wolfreton School, South Hunsley School and Cottingham High School.
