An Introduction from Our DoA and Student Support
The Pastoral Team at Hayesfield Girls’ School warmly welcomes new Year 7 students and their families. With extensive experience in supporting the transition from primary to secondary school, we are committed to ensuring a smooth and positive start.
The transition begins with liaison with primary schools and continues with events like the Year 6 Welcome Evening, Induction Day in July, and a summer transition project titled “Who am I?”. A Parents’ Information Evening in September will provide further guidance and details about the October residential trip to Great Wood.
We look forward to supporting students throughout their first year and helping them make the most of their opportunities.

Extra Curricular
Book Eyrie Fledglings
Are you a confident, committed and enthusiastic reader? Would you be able to recommend books to students and help them find their next great read? We are looking to add up to six students from Year 7 to our team of Fledglings to help in The Book Eyrie at lunchtimes. Unlike other leadership roles, which change each year, if you become a Book Eyrie Fledgling in Year 7, you will remain a Book Eyrie Fledgling until you ‘fly the nest’ at the end of Year 11.
Role and Responsibility:
On a rota with other Fledglings you will spend some lunchtimes in the Book Eyrie, helping students to select, take out and bring back books. You will support the decoration of the Book Eyrie area and you will be able to direct decisions on which books to stock based upon what is current and popular. Fledglings in older years will also be expected to help train the new fledglings in Year 7, so this is a role that is passed down and supported – also developing your cross year-group friendships. Your contribution in promoting a culture of reading and enjoyment of sharing stories is invaluable and the skills you will develop as a result are something you can then take forward in life.
Requirements:
- Love of reading
• Commitment to the role
• Willingness to help
• Desire to make an impact and lead
• Good at working as part of a team
• Curiosity to learn
• Time management skills
• You can take the initiative
• Creativity and vision (and the confidence to share this)
How to Apply:
Please write a letter of application to Ms Carter. In this letter you should:
- Start your letter with “Dear”, conclude with “Yours sincerely” and set it out in letter format
• Tell us about the books and authors you love reading
• Explain why you are interested in the role and express why you think you would make an excellent Fledgling
• Explain why you think promoting reading and the reading space is important in schools
• Share any ideas you may have for activities in the Book Eyrie
• Include which days you are at UOP at lunchtime and available to help in The Book Eyrie
Please drop your letter of application into the Book Eyrie to Ms Carter.
Deadline for applications is 5th December 2025
