“It is clear that Hayes School provides all pupils with an exceptional experience. The curriculum is broad and ambitious. Pupils gain a rich range of knowledge and skills and this prepares them well for the next stage of their lives. This is one of the reasons why pupils enjoy school and achieve highly. The wide range of after-school activities and visits to places of interest aims to extend and enhance pupils’ learning. For example, sixth-form students recently visited Cern, the European Organisation for Nuclear Research, in Switzerland … The promotion of pupils’ personal development goes hand in hand with their academic education.”
