Our Vision
The beating heart of Hayesfield, the Performance and Arts Faculty is proud of the enriching and highly enjoyable curriculum and activities that it provides for all Hayesfield students.

Enriching Learning
Enrichment activities are central to provision of all subjects in the performance and arts faculty. All activities
have open access to all students and inclusivity is important to us. Students work across year groups breaking
down the barriers between the older and younger students. The activities they do inspire confidence and
understanding and students have many opportunities to be leaders.

Student support in Performance and Arts
All Performance and Arts subjects aim to support all groups of students in their lessons to ensure that they
fulfil their potential. The curriculum is accessible to all and provides full opportunity to stretch those with
advanced skills. More detail of specific opportunities for gifted and talented students can be found on our
subject pages. Students are also frequently offered the opportunity to participate in support sessions outside
of the normal curriculum.
