In 2019 in A-Level Mathematics 70% of students achieved A*-B passes and in Core Maths 80% of students achieved A or B passes.

Norton Hill is part of the Midsomer Norton Schools Partnership (MNSP), a growing Multi Academy Trust currently including six secondary schools. The Head of Mathematics at Norton Hill will work with the Director of Mathematics for the MNSP to ensure that outcomes for students of all abilities and backgrounds remain very high. Within the Trust, Norton Hill has always led on secondary Maths strategy and has a reputation for initiative and cutting-edge innovation in teaching and learning, monitoring and assessment and intervention. The Head of Mathematics would be expected to maintain and enhance this reputation by continually seeking ways to innovate and improve to ensure that students have the best possible experience of secondary Mathematics.
