We were delighted to welcome back former transformational bursary student, Noor Ahmed, last Wednesday to our Class of 2023 Drinks Reception for Year 13 students and parents. Noor, who is currently studying Biochemistry at Loughborough University, kindly shared with us how much an NHEHS education meant to her, following the disabling illness of her parents. 

Noor said, ‘both my parents developed significant health issues which led to poor mobility, and they have been unemployed for eight years. Having no family income other than benefits, a private education was far beyond what they could give me. Being at NHEHS has made me realise that there isn’t a limit on what I can achieve. I changed a lot during my time at school. My confidence and personality have grown and I made lifelong friendships. Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity.’

As part of our 150th Anniversary Bursary Campaign, the Class of 2023 parents are rallying to the cause to help other students like Noor to get the same opportunity by donating their deposit. If you would like to donate your Leavers’ deposit, please click here.
