Launching in 2026, the Northholm Institute for Cultivating Excellence (NICE) will be a beacon for developing excellence in teaching and learning for all students, encourage the growth of leadership in both students and staff, and ensure the school makes a strong contribution to educational debate, professional practice and innovation.
At Northholm, we believe excellence in learning is predicated on excellence in teaching, and excellent teaching results from well-trained staff. The Institute will aim to develop, curate and disseminate best practice in teaching and learning, positioning Northholm as a place where teachers will be attracted to join, grow in their practice and make a long-term contribution to the education of our young people.
NICE will drive initiatives to ensure academic excellence, based on evidence-based strategies, and will be supported by a team of leaders who will provide instructional leadership in ‘what excellence looks like’ across Primary and Secondary. As part of this landmark initiative, strategic partnerships will be forged with Universities and other educational institutions, to establish an empowering network that will help the School become a place of educational excellence, a leader in education, and a destination School for the very best in the industry.
