Our Sixth Form Open Evening is on Wednesday 14th November from 5.45pm – 8.30pm.

Please download a programme for the evening here.

We are racing towards the end of Term 1 and the end of the Year 7 ‘Who am I?’ transition project which started whilst the girls were still in Y6.
With this in mind, we are looking forward to hosting our Year 7 Celebration Afternoon on Thursday 15th November at the Upper Oldfield Park campus. An invite and further details about this event will be heading home to all our Year 7 families. All Year 7 students are expected to take part and be involved in this joyful occasion

The Secondary School Performance Tables for 2018 went live today and we are delighted to see Hayesfield placed ‘Number One’ in Bath and North East Somerset (BANES). We have a Progress 8 score of +0.73, are placed 182 out of 6530 schools nationally – that is the top 3% of schools in England.
We have been on a journey over the last five years to constantly review and improve the educational experiences that our students receive here. A consistent focus on marrying high quality teaching with developing the character of students has ensured that they gain the skills and attitudes needed to achieve this examination success. We are particularly proud to see students of all abilities and backgrounds making exceptional progress at our School.
Congratulations once again to all our students and staff who worked together to achieve another spectacular set of exam results. Ambitions achieved!

Hayesfield will be proudly hosting the Diana Award Anti-Bullying Ambassador training event at our Upper Oldfield Campus this Thursday 11th October.

The Diana Award is a charity that was established to continue the work of Princess Diana in numerous fields. Its key motto is that ‘young people have the power to change the world for the better’; this is something that resonates with us here at Hayesfield. In particular, the charity are on a mission to end bullying in schools by empowering young people to detect, prevent and counteract all types of bullying.

Hayesfield School is working closely with the charity’s specialist trainers to offer training to the students of BANES schools. We are excited at the prospect of welcoming over 100 students and staff from our local schools as they embark on their journey to becoming trained ‘Anti-Bullying Ambassadors’.

Twenty of our own students from across all year groups will be trained as these ‘Anti-Bullying Ambassadors’. We admire the ‘moral courage’ of these students (one of our five Hayesfield Values) as they commit to helping the school to maintain its excellence in anti-bullying. We are proud of our inclusive and collaborative culture here at Hayesfield and we thank the students for the key role they will be playing.

Dear Parent/Carer

Year 9 Parents’ Information Evening – Main Hall – Brougham Hayes Campus

I am delighted to invite you to our first Information Evening for parents and guardians of Year 9 students, on Tuesday 25th September in the Main Hall at the Upper Oldfield Park Campus, starting at 5.45pm. The evening is aimed at parents but students are very welcome to attend.

The aim of the evening is to provide you with key information about the year ahead and the national changes that have taken place to the structure and grading of GCSE examinations. We will also provide an outline of the Options Process, which will take place in January.

You will be aware that there have been major changes to the way GCSE courses are delivered and graded in the past two years and we want to ensure that you have a full understanding of these changes so you can support your daughter in her studies. This evening is focussed on the subjects where students are starting their GCSE courses in Year 9. This will include full details of the structure and content of the English Literature GCSE course, which your daughter will be taking at the end of Year 10.

The programme for the evening is:

5.45pm – Refreshments available in the Brougham Hayes Hall
6.00pm – Welcome and introduction to the evening – Miss Yates
6.10pm – National Changes to GCSE and key dates – Mr White
