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.

My name is Archie and I am one of the head students for 2024/25. I like to watch Formula One and my dream career would be to work in a motorsport team. I applied for the Head Student role to have a chance to collaborate with students and staff to help make this school a better place for everyone. Me and everyone else in the student leadership team are open to talk to if you have any ideas or concerns. I am looking forward to helping make the school the best it can be by taking feedback from pupils and giving it to the senior staff who can address any ideas or questions. |

Hello, my name is Hannah and I am one of the new Head Students at Hadleigh High School for 2024-25. I wanted to become a Head Student to improve my teamwork and leadership skills and to have more responsibilities within the school. I enjoy helping people and want to make a difference to the school, especially in the cantine and in the litter collecting and recycling systems. I love singing, dancing and acting in the school play (Matilda) and I also enjoy playing the clarinet. I love baking too. If you have any questions or ideas to help improve the school then please let me or the other Head Students know. |

I believe everyone should feel safe and welcome at this school. I am always open for any feedback or ideas you may have.

Hello I'm Edward and one of the head students at Hadleigh High and have made some great memories at this school. Everyone is friendly and very supportive. I wanted to be a Head Student to try to improve the wellbeing of everyone in the school. My favourite subjects are PE and Maths because it involves teamwork which is what I try to incorporate.

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.
