Our Vision
“Intelligence and skill can only function at the peak of their capacity when the body is healthy and strong”.
John F Kennedy
At Hayesfield, we aim to nurture and grow a lifelong love of physical activity in all our students and equip them with the knowledge and skills needed to support good physical and mental health, which is imperative in the current climate. Our curriculum is designed so that all students build the skills and knowledge of a wide range of activities so that they have the confidence and desire to lead an active healthy life, whilst supporting our students to fulfil their potential and compete in sport at County, Regional or National standard. This is reflected in our Key Stage 4 options where we offer the GCSE PE and NCFE Level 2 in Health & Fitness to cater for the needs and interests of all our students.
