Haveley Hey Community School

What Haveley Hey Community School does

Haveley Hey Community School is a state-funded community primary school located on Nearbrook Road in Wythenshawe, Manchester (M22 9NS), serving approximately 300-420 pupils aged 3-11 across Nursery, Reception, and Years 1-6. It is governed by the Children of Success Schools Trust (COSST), a small multi-academy trust that also operates The Willows Primary School, with Mrs Sue Spiteri as Executive Headteacher and Ms F Docker as Head of School. The school delivers the full National Curriculum plus EYFS in the early years, and holds the UNICEF UK Gold Level Rights Respecting School status (achieved 2018, reaccredited 2023) and the National Nurturing Schools Award (2023), reflecting a trauma-informed, attachment-aware ethos. Core ancillary services include hot school meals (£2.20/day), a Breakfast Club (£1.50/day), KS2 milk, branded uniform sales, and a Friday Fun Club, all administered through Class Dojo, SchoolComms, and GroupCall for parent communications.

The school's revenue is dominated by per-pupil government funding under the national funding formula routed through Manchester City Council, supplemented by Pupil Premium, Sports Premium, the National Breakfast Programme food donations, and small fee-based ancillaries. Admissions for Reception through Year 6 are processed through the Manchester City Council coordinated scheme, while Nursery applications are taken directly. The school invests in specialist provision including a Place2Be School Project Manager delivering in-school counselling and parent support, a dedicated SENCO with a specialist "Bridge" SEND provision, an Educational Psychologist link, speech and language therapy, and Growing Outside for outdoor learning. Technology is entirely off-the-shelf: the SchoolSpider-powered website and parent portal, SchoolComms payments, Class Dojo messaging, and digital learning platforms such as Times Tables Rock Stars, Spelling Shed, Accelerated Reader, Twinkl Phonics, and the Jigsaw PSHE scheme. Governance is exercised through a Board of Governors with Members, a Finance and General Purposes Committee, an Academic Outcomes Committee, and a Safeguarding Committee, with Mr Richard Dyson as Chair of the Trust.

The strategic posture is that of a stable, mission-driven community institution rather than a growth-stage commercial entity. The most recent Ofsted inspection (October 2024) cited positive pupil behaviour and strong relationships. The school's competitive position rests on its award designations, trauma-informed specialist staff, broad curriculum including specialist KS2 computing, and pupil leadership programmes (Pupil Parliament, Wellbeing Champions, Diversity Ambassadors, Eco Warriors, Attendance Champions). It is geographically and demographically concentrated in the Wythenshawe catchment, with no disclosed expansion plans, no commercial diversification beyond ancillaries, and no proprietary technology assets.
