WELCOME TO
HONLEY HIGH SCHOOL
At Honley High School we always focus on ensuring that we are the best that we can be.
This aim set out in the school motto in 1932 has led us to remarkable success, not only in examination outcomes but also in terms of achievements in sport, the arts and also our community involvement. We are a successful school but we recognise this comes as a result of the hard work, dedication and resilience of all members of our school community. Above everything else, we ensure the interests of our children are kept at the centre of everything we do.
That is The Honley Way.
OUR MOTTO: NITIMUR IN EXCELSIS – STRIVE FOR THE HIGHEST
