What the school inspection says

“The school’s motto of ‘achieving ambitions’ is evident throughout the curriculum and through the wider experiences of the pupils. Leaders have high ambitions for pupils. Pupils learn about powerful female role models. They identify the qualities and achievements of those individuals ... A culture of high aspiration and expectation for all encourages pupils to succeed. Pupils work hard … [and] are proud of their school. The wider curriculum provides an exceptionally broad range of opportunities and experiences for all pupils ... [Those] in all year groups take on many leadership roles, such as the school council, ambassadors or ‘library fledglings’. Students in the sixth form play an active role in the rest of the school and in the community. Students who join the school in the sixth form say they chose it for the broad experience it provides.”

About the school

Hayesfield is an all-girls secondary school with a mixed sixth form located in the historic city of Bath, a Unesco world heritage site.
The school’s motto, Achieving Ambitions, embodies its focus on encouraging students to set high expectations and pursue excellence in both academic and personal development.
It is a member of the Midsomer Norton Schools Partnership and part of the Bath Hub, a cluster of secondary schools within the trust that collaborate closely on curriculum, training and leadership.
Academic outcomes are strong: in 2025, 30 per cent of all A-level grades were A-A*, 65 per cent were A*-B, and 87 per cent achieved A-C — significantly higher than the national average of 78 per cent.
The school’s landmark Amy Williams Sports Centre opened in 2011 at a cost of £10 million. It is named after the former student and Olympic gold medallist Amy Williams and serves as both a sports and performing arts hub for the community.
