The Hayfield School

I hate this school it puts pressure on kids when not needed also it’s SO strict like wdym you get a detention because your shoes aren’t the right ones please get a grip.

overall the school is great, there is a positive environment around the school and a vast majority of the staff are lovely and are the best in their fields. some rules, especially regarding uniform, are quite strict and are enforced very heavily by slt and the schools behaviour system is followed by the book by most staff but other than that the atmosphere is very chill. i didnt have school food but it didnt look great icl. the school is very clean and there are cleaners constantly around school, all of whom are lovely, as well as site staff and IT technicians, again all of whom are very nice and respond to issues quickly. the quality of education is great as many of the staff excel in their subject areas, particularly history, english and IT, and there is plenty of support especially during GCSE’s for students to use in order to do the best they can, such as after school revision sessions and online google classroom revision materials. the headteacher, mrs fox, isnt liked by many but every encounter i had with her was nothing but positive, you can tell she is doing what is right for the school, even if people disagree, and although some rules are questionable and can be seen as strict they are clearly working. the teachers are incredible, shoutout to mr parry and miss oldfield, and do their jobs perfectly. each lesson is set out in a way that is most beneficial to retaining information and students are tested periodically to test their knowledge. feedback from these tests are also very thorough in order to help students improve in specific areas. my only two downsides of the school is slt tend to reward those kids who behave badly if they dont for a day instead of those that behave well day in day out, almost pushing them to the side with little recognition for their hard work. my second downside is that target grades depend heavily on a students SATs scores rather than changing as they progress through the school, which does put pressure on them as in the eyes of the school they are performing below target, for example being made to go to a targeted parents evening in year 11 because they are below target (their targets are all 9s and they are getting 6s and 7s). however other than these two negatives the school as a whole is really good and i would recommend

the double standards were crazy. the staff would enforce so many pathetic and petty rules just to completely disregard them in regards to them self. staff would wine and get into hysterics if they could see the skin of your ankle, while most of the staff would wear trainer socks or no socks at all. god forbid you wear a little bit of makeup in the most insecure and vulnerable part of your life while you watch the teachers come into school everyday with thick,cakey makeup. god forbid you express yourself in the slightest or look even the smallest bit different to anyone else because the childish and emotionally immature staff would hunt you down and screech at you in front of the entirety of your peers. staff would actively avoid disciplining bad kids and would only ever reward them, while the kids that are always perfect and try their best would always get dragged through the mud unless they were loudest and most intelligent individual in the room. the staff in this school are weak and unfortunate, this school preaches that they only hire the best while there have been staff who have thrown chairs and books at these young kids. The hayfield school should be embarrassed of the way they conduct themselves. They.are.pathetic.

A teacher valued at The Hayfield School “Hannah Rockcliffe” a vile human being. I am truly disgusted by their actions. They know what they have done to a student and it deserves to be noticed. They have hidden it until now but this is not acceptable, this school deserves better teachers all are racist especially the head teacher “Lisa Fox” and “Hannah Rockcliffe” tweedle dumb and tweedle dumber 😂😂let everyone know what your hiding

they eat their students and feed them to the teachers and pupils 😲

The head teacher has very abnormal priorities, valuing uniforms over quality of education. The education your child gets really depends on their sets. Set 1 classes tend to have good, hard working students and a productive classroom environment. However, the high grade students aren't rewarded even nearly enough for their efforts as rewards are focused on the less productive students barely passing. On the other hand, set 4 classes are a disruptive environment where students who want to improve can't as they are limited by their misbehaving peers. Additionally, the new mixed ability english classes don't allow a work environment where students can thrive. The lessons go too slow for high grade students and are too complicated for low grade students. Overall, very average. Not to mention the dreaded FOX NEWS. Mrs fox is so self absorbed she needs her own news channel to complain to students about every minor detail of uniforms and hairstyles. It's 20 minutes of my Monday morning wasted.

I go to this school and only started this year, I absolutely hate it, all the teachers are hypocrites as they say kids shouldn’t do things as they do it and think it’s ok such as saying we’re aloud only water and they have fizzy pop. There have been people who want to protest but are scared they will get expelled which I can understand, the protest was about skirt length as they sexualize women because apparently it is “to revealing” to have a skirt above the knees. I recommend you don’t send your kids here as it is awful.

Evil teachers and bullshit rules. This school made me want to kill myself every day. DO NOT send your children here. Please. Years later I’m still suffering the consequences of attending this school and the same problems still exist at the school, in fact it’s gotten worse.
They care more about the length of a girls skirt or a boys hair than the actual work. Disgraceful. Pervy too.
Sending kids home for the slightest uniform mistake, parents are sending kids to school to learn, not waste valuable time because of clothes. GET YOUR PRIORITIES STRAIGHT.
I don’t know one person who genuinely enjoyed going to hayfield, it’s a shithole. Do not send your child here.

I went here for a short while and I left here in 2013 halfway through Year 7. Most of the teachers I had there in Year 7 were terrible, not very nice, very problematic and didn't teach you anything. Their dinner tickets were a ripoff and not worth the money. I hated my Year 7 tutor group they so cringe and problematic. I got into a fight here with a fatass from bottom set in Year 7 which I won during lunch queue during lunch break. Their secondary school PE kits were such a ripoff and they make you buy them for PE uniform. All these randoms chavs from Finningley and other areas in Doncaster though they could fight me when they couldn't they would off got slapped by me in fight. It was a terrible school and I had depression at the time when I went to the school. Stay away from this secondary school.

Just simply don't go to this school , its racist , homophobic , transphobic and all it cares about is its own reputation.

The main priority for them is school uniform and if your going to get a 9 , I can say for most of the people I know whom attend this shit show ,that our mentally health and well-being is negatively influenced . Not to mention that most of the teachers seem unqualified , or are unfair on students . In my 5 years of going to this school I truly feel I have been bullied by multiple teachers and lots of students .

Just simply don't bother with this school, it's hell

It was a very happy day when lockdown came and my daughter was able to leave this school 3 months earlier than expected. Having to attend damaged her Mental Health and having to try and make her go was very damaging to mine. I would home school rather than contemplate sending another child here. The rules are so strict on uniform but bullying goes unpunished. Teachers actually asking to see what socks girls are wearing under their trousers?!
It used to be a good school until the new headmistress came then it went downhill very fast. It ruined my son’s life and blighted my daughter’s. She is only now starting to recover from the damage they did.
