Norton Canes high school is virtually unique, being one of the few small secondary schools to be built in Staffordshire. Our reputation for being at the heart of the local community is long-standing and we have now gained recognition for academic excellence, being in the top 20 schools nationally for improvement in 2007.

Our excellence in Mathematics put us in the top 2% of schools nationally and with 91% of our students gaining one or more GCSE equivalent grades in ICT. As well as academic success we offer an individual learning experience for young people that only a small school like ours with a totally dedicated staff can give. It can best be described as being part of a caring family, in which guidance and support are ever present and the needs of children come first. Starting secondary school is exciting and sometimes a little daunting prospect for young people and their parents.
