Values and vision
The Haygrove School ethos is characterised by traditional values, high expectations, rich opportunities, mutual respect, personal responsibility and pride. Fostered here is a culture of endeavour, enjoyment of learning and the pursuit of individual achievement in all aspects of school and community life.
The Haygrove School mission is to enable all students to flourish academically and to develop into confident, courteous and well-rounded young adults, skilled and equipped for adulthood. Key to the school’s aims is providing a Key Stage 4 curriculum that offers scope for individual choice as well as academic rigour.
Ofsted report
“Students’ behaviour and attendance have improved markedly since the introduction of a wider range of courses in Years 10 and 11, the mentoring of vulnerable students and the sharper systems for managing inappropriate behaviour. Attendance is above average and shows a trend of improvement, while exclusions have fallen dramatically and are now at a low level. The very large majority of parents and carers feel that their child is safe at the academy and that the standard of behaviour is good.”
