Heybridge High School

At its simplest, our mission statement as a school remains the same each year and that is to work to achieve the best possible outcomes for all our students thereby ensuring the best life chances for everybody in our care. This is underpinned by a belief that ‘an education’ is more than just a set of qualifications but is an experience which allows young people to enhance their natural talents, gifts and abilities. We strive to ensure that all our students are supported to be the kind, articulate, tolerant, resilient and caring young people who will go into the world beyond Haybridge as lifelong learners capable of achieving great things and making a difference. We work to provide all of our students with a broad and balanced curriculum, outstanding teaching at all key stages and a motivating and energetic learning environment underpinned by an atmosphere of mutual respect and exciting extra-curricular opportunities, through the Character Academy. We are very proud of our recent Ofsted report, recognising as it does the high academic achievement, respectful behaviour and positive, caring relationships as the hallmarks of our school. We are very proud of our reputation built up over many years for supporting students of all abilities to achieve excellent results at both GCSE and A level which enables them to move on to the best in higher education, training and employment. Similarly high standards of effort, talent and performance are nurtured in the extra-curricular life of the school be it on the sports field, in music or in the many other opportunities for participation outside of lessons which include the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme and whole school drama and music productions. We benchmark ourselves against the best educational practice both nationally and internationally. We have access to the Institute of Education and the SCITT (school centered initial teacher training) which supports the training of over fifty new teachers annually to join the profession. Being part of the Four Stones Multi Academy Trust, with King Charles I School In Kidderminster and The De Montfort School in Evesham, leads to rigorous and reflective school improvement. We believe that we are a learning community at Haybridge, always striving to be the best we can be. We look for the most outstanding opportunities for our students to engage with and are tenacious in committing to developmental work which will enhance the learning experience and ensure that Haybridge remains at the cutting edge of both innovative and collaborative practice. Haybridge is a school about individuals and it is our vision that everybody feels that they have a voice which can be heard within the school and a personalised experience which enables them to succeed both personally and academically. We pride ourselves on the positive relationships we foster with our students and wider community and are looking forward to the next stage in Haybridge’s journey. NICOLA STANFIELD
