OUR SCHOOL
Our History
Whilst Hayesfield Girls’ School has reached its 50th birthday, our origins trace back 100 years to the formation of the City of Bath Girls’ School on the Upper Oldfield Park site in 1922.
Hayesfield School was formed in 1973 when West Twerton Secondary Modern School and City of Bath Girls’ Grammar School were merged to form Hayesfield School. The school was renamed Hayesfield School Technology College when it obtained Technology College status in 1979, but renamed again on the request of its students in 2009, becoming Hayesfield Girls’ School.
The Brougham Hayes site was originally known as the Somerset Industrial School for Boys in 1832. It became a Domestic Science College in 1934 and was then occupied by the City of Bath Technical School for Boys. Post war, West Twerton Secondary Modern School occupied the Brougham Hayes site.
We are proud of our history of girls education in the City of Bath and seek to engage former pupils and staff in sharing their stories about their experiences. Whilst we continue to modernise and develop the learning spaces, the old and new sit side by side which reflects our vision of traditional academic subjects alongside modern vocational subjects delivered with 21st Century technology.
