Sixth Form Open Evening
Due to the high numbers of positive cases within Calderdale schools, we have made the decision that our Sixth Form Open Evening will be virtual. This will be available on the NHGS website from November 2021.
We hope to be able to provide some face to face contact later in the academic year when hopefully the number of cases has fallen.
