Higham Lane School is a secondary academy school in Weddington, Nuneaton, England. The school teaches students aged between eleven and eighteen, (Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4) in preparation for their GCSEs.
The original school building dates back to 1939, with the introduction of new laboratories, a sports hall and a new Business and Enterprise Centre arriving since. In 2003, after a successful bid, the school was granted Business and Enterprise College status, under the specialist schools programme. In January 2012, the school officially gained Academy status.[4] In November 2021, the school and sixth form were awarded the World Class Schools WCSQM quality mark.[5]
Appointed in 2023, the school's headteacher is Michael Gannon, taking over from Phil Kelly who had been headteacher of the school for 16 years and retired at the end of August 2022.[6] Michael Gannon is the current head of the school with Hanif Ladha as the Assistant Head and Head of the Sixth form.[7]
