NASS Special Contribution Award:
The NASS Awards celebrate excellence in independent special schools. The Special Contribution Award recognises an individual who leads with heart and purpose, quietly pushing boundaries, breaking down barriers, and working tirelessly to bring equity, dignity, and opportunity to every young person in their care.
Kerry Taylor explains how she led a remarkable and lasting turnaround since becoming Principal of Highgate Hill House School three years ago. When she arrived, the school faced poor behaviour, low engagement and a fractured staff team. Staff and parents highlight her role in improving behaviour, restoring trust and raising expectations. Under her leadership, academic outcomes have risen, behaviour incidents have fallen dramatically, and the curriculum now blends academic rigour with a whole-child approach. With a focus on inclusive practice, staff development and curriculum reform, Kerry’s leadership is widely recognised as the driving force behind a safer, happier and more ambitious school environment where learners and staff feel valued, empowered and are thriving.
“The children feel truly loved by the staff, reflecting the nurturing culture Kerry has helped shape.”
