Haydon School / Home
Monday 19th June - Curriculum Day - School closes at 3.10 today
On behalf of the students, staff and governors I would like to welcome you to Haydon School’s website. We have designed this website to meet the needs of parents and students both current and prospective. The site will continue to be developed and we would be happy to hear any feedback you may have as we move forward.
For those new to the school, Haydon is a Foundation School for students aged 11 – 18 years. We welcome students of all abilities and we seek the best from every student irrespective of ability. As it says in our Mission Statement and Aims, we are firmly committed to individual excellence, ensuring that all students fulfil their potential.
In June 2007 Haydon was inspected by Ofsted and we are delighted to be declared ‘Outstanding’ in every category. As part of our review process we employ Ofsted inspectors to review different areas of the school each year and, in the last two terms the Humanities and Social Science Faculties have both been inspected and pronounced Outstanding. This is obviously excellent for students’ learning and progress.
We are proud of our school and were delighted when inspectors declared that ‘student achievement is outstanding at all key stages’. This is after all what we are here for and it is reassuring to have such a complete endorsement of our excellence from Ofsted. Part of the reason for this success is that Haydon is a happy school where staff and students respect each other. Ofsted noted the ‘particularly positive relationships between teachers and students ensure an excellent climate for learning’.
