Haileybury Turnford is a mixed, comprehensive, non-denominational secondary school with sixth form situated in Cheshunt in Waltham Cross, Hertfordshire. It is a sponsor-led academy that is part of a multi-academy trust called the Haileybury Academy Trust. It provides 1,088 places for students between the ages of 11 and 19 when fully subscribed.
We are a school with serious support from one of the country’s top independent schools. If you would like to make a real difference to our students in a very supportive environment, we would love to hear from you.
It is an exciting time to join us. When Ofsted visited in March 2022 they were very clear about the very high quality of education at Haileybury Turnford.
“Pupils love the fact that their school is friendly and welcoming. They say that it is a school where they can be themselves. This is because it is a very tolerant community. Pupils feel very safe. They attend regularly and promptly and take great pride in presenting and organising their work carefully.”
“The school helps pupils to become better citizens. Teachers support pupils well, but pupils also support each other.”
“Pupils know that teachers always expect them to work hard. They are grateful for this. Pupils know that they can always learn in lessons.”
“Leaders have brought improvements to many areas of the school since the previous inspection, including behaviour and the curriculum. Parents are very appreciative of the way the school has changed.”
“The school is a calm and orderly environment.” [Ofsted, March 2022]
There are excellent professional development opportunities to support your own personalised learning, and we would aim to fully provide this support to the successful candidate.
