Welcome from the Headteacher

Dear families, students and visitors,

Hayes is a happy, welcoming school where together we strive for excellence in everything we do. At Hayes, we offer an exceptional range of experiences and opportunities—many of which are rare to find in a state school. We believe that the memories and relationships formed through trips, clubs, and shared experiences are often what stay with students and staff the longest—and they enrich our lives in powerful, lasting ways.

Through the “Hayes Way,” we show our deep commitment to personal development: to helping young people build character and become the very best version of themselves. At the heart of this commitment are two simple but powerful questions that guide our staff’s work with your children:

• Would this school be good enough for my child?

 • Would I like to work with a colleague like me?

I believe that hard work gives us purpose and unlocks success. It’s through this shared sense of endeavour that our students go on to achieve grades they can be proud of—and, more importantly, the future they deserve.

I’m incredibly proud to lead Hayes—a school rated Outstanding by Ofsted in 2022 and recognised with the World Class Schools Quality Mark—and I’m excited about all that we will achieve together in the months and years ahead.

Our school vision is:

"To have uncompromising aspirations for every individual and for our school to be an exceptional and inspirational community of lifelong learners."

Parents and staff joining Hayes need to commit to "Would this be outstanding for my child?" and ensure that what we provide is just that.

Hayes School has received the World Class Schools Quality Mark in recognition of our work in developing high quality teaching and learning, sustaining excellent academic outcomes and providing an exceptional range of extra-curricular and personal development opportunities for all students.

We look forward to welcoming you and your child to Hayes School and to you joining us on the next stage of our and your journey.
