Hayfield School - another top year!!
The Hayfield School, in Auckley Doncaster had another top year with 77.8 per cent of pupils achieving five A*s-C – a figure that includes GNVQ media studies equivalents.

Hayfield School has a national reputation for quality delivery of education, by an enthusiastic and committed staff and offers a broad curriculum at GCSE with all students taking a wide range of subjects and over twenty subjects at A. level. The school has received numerous other accolades, including Beacon School, High Achieving School and is also a Teacher Training School. It also holds the Charter Mark and Investor of People Awards.



Hayfield School strives to help all students to gain the best possible grades in public examinations via a broad-based curriculum and consistently achieves high academic standards. The school is designated as a Specialist School in Mathematics and Computing. There are excellent sporting facilities on site, which include a fenced, floodlit polymeric pitch used for a wide variety of games including basketball, netball, volleyball, tennis and athletics. It also has twenty acres of playing fields, eight hard surface tennis/netball courts, a sports hall with cricket nets and a gymnasium and fitness room.
The School has an excellent sixth form department and admits post-16 A’ level students from other schools given appropriate GCSE Grades.
In the Ofsted report in March 2000, Hayfield was rated as an outstanding school. It quoted the overall effectiveness of the school as: “This is an outstandingly effective school. It provides an excellent all round level of education and care for its pupils and is very popular with parents. The Headteacher, ably supported by a very professional team of managers and teachers and a very conscientious governing body, gives leadership of the highest order. The emphasis on continuously reviewing and improving performance is palpable and planning to achieve the latter is exceptionally thorough and far sighted.”
Tony Storey, the Headteacher, commenced his post as Headmaster in 1971, and although Tony is now 67, and a ‘pensioner’, he is still carrying on as Head for at least another year. It is a testament to his leadership that twenty of the teachers recruited within the first two years are still on the staff. The school, under his leadership, continues to be a popular choice for parents and is oversubscribed, with parents from outside catchments vying to secure a place at the school for their sons and daughters.
