Hayesfield Girls’ School and Mixed Sixth Form

“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.”
