Welcome to Hadleigh High School 

Headteacher's Welcome

 

Mrs Shingleton Headteacher

 

 

Choosing the best school for your child is an extremely important decision. You need to be sure that, in addition to a great education, your child will be cared for in a happy and safe environment. With this in mind, it is with immense pride that I welcome you to Hadleigh High School.

Hadleigh High School offers a caring, nurturing and secure setting that enables every member of our school community to be the best they can be in all that they do. Moreover, our relatively small size is an asset in ensuring that all of our students are known as individuals.


As Headteacher, I am passionately committed to excellence for all. We have high aspirations for ourselves, our students and the community we serve and our intention is for our students to gain access to the best apprenticeships and universities in the country.

Meet the Head Students

Evie 


My name is Evie and I’m one of your new Head Students for 2023-24. I enjoy writing, cooking, acting and playing games. I also love taking on responsibilities within the school. As a Head Student I will work as part of a team which strives to make your experience here as amazing as possible. The Student Leadership Team wants to know what you think. We are always open to new ideas, so feel free to let us know what you think! I applied for this role as it allows me to input mine and other’s ideas into the school system, as well as giving me the opportunity to work with new people. That's all from me, but don't be afraid to ask questions or put ideas forward!

My name is Matthew and I am one of the Head Students this year. I have a passion for technology and I enjoy venturing out to new locations and discovering unfamiliar surroundings. I applied for the position of Head Student because I want to enhance the opportunities and experiences available to all students both inside and outside of school. If you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to reach out to me. I am always open to feedback and will work with my fellow Student Leadership team to address any concerns. I am excited to be a part of the school community and look forward to contributing to its success.

Lizzie

 

 

My name is Lizzie and I am one of the Head Students for 2023-24. I enjoy drawing, acting, listening to music like Taylor Swift and playing netball in my free time. During my time as Head Student, I want to to help to reduce the schools carbon footprint and introduce a greater range of healthy options at the canteen and snack shack. I am excited to have the opportunity to make a positive difference and to make a contribution to Hadleigh High School. I am looking forward to helping out and being a Head Student for 2023/24.

Chloe

 

  

My name is Chloe and I am one of the Head Students this year. I’m grateful for this opportunity and I hope to help the school improve in any way I can. My options this year are Triple Science, Geography, German and Drama, I’d like to become a nurse in the future. This year as well as maintaining the 9-point plan and other ways to reduce the school’s environmental impact, I’d like to help promote 'MyVoice' where people can report any concerns that they may have. Feel free to speak to any of the Head Students if you have a problem and we’ll try our best to help or raise any concerns you have with people who can!

Frequently Asked Questions

How will I know where to go on my first day?

Staff will be out on the front playground to meet you as you arrive. 

Will I be in the same classes as my friends from primary school?

We will try to ensure you are in the same tutor group with a friend you work well with but cannot guarantee this.  Before the summer holidays your parents/carers will be sent a letter informing them who your Form Tutor will be. 

What will happen if I cannot find a classroom or I am late to a lesson?

We will expect it to take a little while for you to get used to the new buildings and timetable.  Staff and other students will be available to help you find your way round.  Most students manage to find their own way round really well after just a few days. 

Will we be allowed to use the toilet during lessons?

You are expected to be organised and go to the toilet before school, at break times and at lunchtimes.  However, on rare occasions we understand there might be exceptional circumstances.

Will we be allowed to use our phones during the school day?

No, you can only use them after or before you arrive at school.  They must be switched off or on silent and in your bag.  If you have your phone out of your bag at school, it will get confiscated.  If you ever need to contact your parents/carers you must come to the student reception in the dining hall. 

Will I get a detention for bad behaviour?

You will only get a detention if you make poor behaviour choices.  The first time a student behaves badly they will be given a C1 warning.  If it happens again with that same student, they then get what's called a C2.  If it happens for a third time, that student will receive a C3, which is a detention.

Will I get rewards for good behaviour?

The simple answer is yes!  In lessons, you can receive verbal and written praise using our P system, being awarded positive events on Go4Schools and house points.

You can also be awarded positive events and house points when you demonstrate high standards in our three core values.  During Celebration Assemblies, you can expect to receive certificates and prizes.  At other times students may receive praise postcards, phone calls and end of term/year rewards trips and activities.

Is there a homework club?

Yes there is - after school in the Learning Support room - staff will be in there to support you if you need help.

When is the library open?

It is open every day before school, at break time and lunch time.

Will I get a Hadleigh High School email address?

Yes, this will be shared with you during your first few days with us.  You will be shown how to use our IT systems but this information will also be in the Student Guide you are given when you join us.

How much homework will I get?

You will need to get used to organising your time.  You will get two pieces of homework each day.  It will be based on your Knowledge Organiser booklet and set by your teachers using Go4Schools.
