Hazelwick School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 3 October 2023

Pupils thrive at Hazelwick School. Staff have extremely high expectations and pupils happily live up to these. Pupils behave impeccably and embody the school values, becoming academically, socially, morally and culturally successful. Pupils' high attendance reflects their positive attitudes to their education. Pupils achieve exceptionally well in national examinations and produce high-quality work within their subjects. This is because the ambitious curriculum and expert teaching inspire pupils to learn. Those in the sixth form also achieve highly in national examinations and are incredibly well prepared for their next steps. Pupils flourish, benefiting from the extensive range of enrichment activities available to them. They play basketball, football and join the athletics club after school. Others get involved in the debate club, join the eco group or sing in the lunchtime choir. The school's annual charity fundraiser in aid of a local hospice is a highlight of the year for pupils and staff. Older pupils organise themselves into planning committees and bid for the right to organise the event. Sixth formers are excellent role models for younger pupils, playing a vital part in the life of the school and learning about the best ways to help younger pupils get the most out of their education.
