About

For 424 years, NULS has been a pioneer and beacon of outstanding education, not only in the region, but also in North of England. This unique spirit, which is at the very heart of our school, has never been more evident than it is today.

Awarded 'Best UK Independent School, 2025' in the prestigious Independent Education Awards, we are thriving and relentless in our pursuit of ever higher standards, as Staffordshire's leading independent school.

Our School's outcomes under Independent School Inspection continue to set benchmarks for our region, and our pupils' academic outcomes were rated by The Sunday Times in 2025, as not only top, by a considerable margin, in Staffordshire, but also the third highest of any co-ed independent day school in the entire West Midlands, covering Staffordshire, Shropshire, Worcestershire, Herefordshire, Telford and Wrekin, Wolverhampton and Birmingham.

However, we are keen to never be complacent, and never rest on our laurels, and in our recently published new Strategic Development Plan, 'A School for Life' maps out our vision for our school through to 2032, as we endeavour to strive to reach even higher.

In the school’s own words, from the school website.
