Hayes School

Hayes School has now been involved in the YPI (Youth Philanthropy Project) for two years; it has been growing from strength to strength at Hayes.The project involves students researching local charities, visiting a selected charity and devising a pitch for their chosen charity. The winning charity receives £3,000 from Intu Bromley (formerly known as the Glades).On Thursday 9th May 2013, we had the Year 9 final which was a huge success. It was incredibly impressive and moving; the students’ commitment and enthusiasm created an electric atmosphere. The judges had a very difficult task of picking a winner as every group truly was a winner.  However, they finally made a decision and 9OMG supporting ‘Bromley Y’ came first followed by 9NJA supporting ‘Demelza’.It really is a fantastic project which really enables students to connect and contribute to their communities.  The students are now committed to continue the relationships with the charities and continue fundraising for them.

The theme for International Day on 12th July 2013 will be North America and it is hoped that each student will have the prospect participating in 3 active, practical and enjoyable workshops. 

“The Student Steering Group would like to thank parents who have responded, however we still need further International Day assistance please. So if you have any skills or expertise or contacts/links between UK and Canada, Caribbean, U.S.A. or Central America that would support our students’ wider education please do not hesitate to contact Mrs Sirett - kas@hayes.bromley.sch.uk

Dancefest – ‘Magic of the Musicals’
Dancefest 2013 proved to be a great success earlier this week
with a high standard of performance from students from Years
7 to Year 13.
The quality of the performance was incredible and reflected the
huge amount of time, energy and commitment from students
and staff in ensuring that the performance was extremely
professional.

A huge congratulations to five year 10 students for winning the prestigious Diana Award for fundraising over the last two years. They visited Canary Wharf on Monday to receive their awards and are now even more inspired to continue their charity work!

On Friday, 7th December, three Year 10 students took part in the first intergenerational debate ever held at the House of Lords. The students were invited to attend after winning the London final of the English Speaking Union’s Debate Challenge earlier in the year. Chaired by the Lord Speaker, Baroness D’Souza, the debate focused on who should be responsible for care of the vulnerable in society. All three students were able to vote, the result of which is recorded in Hansard.

Hayes School staff have recreated the original 1984 video of
„Do They Know its Christmas‟! We ran a competition to guess which
teachers are singing which lines. The video was shown in Christmas
assemblies. All proceeds will go to the Teenage Cancer Trust.

Hayes School is celebrating record breaking results at GCSE and A-Level. This is the sixth successive year of improvement for Hayes School which was judged as Outstanding by Ofsted in March 2011.  In addition to improving pass rates, there is improvement in the progress made by students; these results demonstrate students achieving exceptionally well at all grades.

Olympics 2012
During the summer break, 250 Hayes students were provided with the opportunity to visit the Olympic park and attend a wide range of Olympic events covering both the Olympics and Paralympics.  This was a fantastic experience with every group and student having a wonderfully positive experience.  Their behaviour, attitude and company were a credit to the school and their parents.
