Hayes School

What Hayes School does

Hayes School is a state-funded secondary school and Sixth Form located in Hayes, Kent (London Borough of Bromley), United Kingdom. Founded in 1956 with origins tracing to a parish school of 1791, it serves students aged 11-18 across Years 7-13, delivering GCSE and A-Level/BTEC programmes with an entry of approximately 240 students per year group and a Sixth Form roll of around 400. The curriculum spans 23+ subjects including less-common offerings such as Politics, Psychology, and Sociology, supported by over 100 extracurricular clubs, a dedicated Careers Hub, and character education through the Hayes Way and Hayes Life programmes. The school operates within Impact Multi Academy Trust, a multi-academy trust of seven schools formed in 2017 and expanded via the 2022 merger with Langley Park Learning Trust.

The school's core digital surface consists of a primary website (hayes.bromley.sch.uk) plus specialised sub-sites for Sixth Form, teaching and learning (hayestl.com), sport (hayessport.co.uk), and the Impact Alliance Hub for trust-level collaboration. The technology stack is standard for UK educational institutions: Satchel One for homework and planning, GCSE Pod for video revision, Unifrog for careers, Parent Pay for payments, and Microsoft 365 (Outlook, SharePoint) for internal communications. No proprietary technology is developed in-house. Academic technology deployment appears as a consumer of third-party platforms rather than a builder.

As an academy, Hayes School receives recurrent government funding from the Department for Education via the Education and Skills Funding Agency based on student numbers; there are no tuition fees. The school charges nominally for optional extras (trips, after-school clubs, certain exam entries). Distribution is via London Borough of Bromley's eAdmissions system for Year 7 intake and a direct application process for Sixth Form. Marketing to prospective families runs through the school website, prospectus documents, open evenings, termly newsletters, Instagram, and the Future First alumni network. Governance includes a Trust Board, Local Governing Body, and Chair of Governors. The current Headteacher, Mr R Hitch, took up post in September 2025 following the transition of predecessor Mr Whittle.
