About our School
Hadleigh High School is a vibrant, student- focused 11 – 16 secondary school rated “Good” by Ofsted in October 2024. We foster a strong community and have great pride in our students and their achievements. Our examination results continue to improve year on year, but we still have ambitious plans for the future.
Our Commitment to Your Career
Hadleigh High School is committed to providing excellent CPD opportunities and career progression for all staff. We prioritise staff training and development and believe that all members of staff should have a thorough induction and an ongoing programme of training and professional development.
Training is delivered every Monday and it is divided between departmental sessions on subject pedagogy and broader professional enquiry accessed via the Great Teacher Toolkit. All colleagues are part of the whole school coaching programme where we review effective lesson structures and pedagogy, enabling all of us to continually reflect on our current teaching and always seek to improve.
By investing in staff development our staff body is up to date with the latest thinking and practice in education. This in turn enables them to provide the best learning opportunities for our students, something we are passionate about every day we come to work.
Our Vision
We have an established reputation of nurturing high levels of attainment in our students alongside excellent pastoral support. We strive for high outcomes and also value high welfare, for both students and staff. Education should not be a choice between one or the other and we hold both in equal esteem.
Our Learning
As a comprehensive school, our curriculum breadth is incredibly important for us. We want all of our students to experience a wide range of subjects including Maths, English, Sciences, Humanities and Languages and proudly make a space for the Performing and Creative Arts.
This an exciting time to join the school, shape the department and grow as a leader to ensure our students achieve. We have a disruption-free learning approach to behaviour; leaders are highly visible and supportive so that teachers can teach highly effective lessons.
