The Year 13 A-level results were excellent: 61% of the grades were A* to C, and 37.5% were A* to B. I recently received the UCAS report on the university destinations of our Year 13 students: 26 pupils have been accepted to Russell Group universities, and 134 Haydon School students are eager to begin their studies there at the end of September.
All of our students are expected to put in a lot of effort and conduct themselves honourably.
All of our students are expected to uphold a specific set of principles, and there is a robust extracurricular programme in place to help pupils do just that.
Our Duke of Edinburgh programme, which offers the training at all levels, is also thriving.
A total of 168 students registered for their Bronze, Silver, or Gold Duke of Edinburgh's Award during this academic year.
We go out of our way to provide kids a variety of extracurricular activities.
Our students have had the chance to perform at both The New Vic in Waterloo and the Royal Shakespeare Company because to our connections with both organisations.
Haydon has excellent equipment.
A new Performing Arts Block, new Science Laboratories, a new Art & Design building, and the Sixth Form Common Room have all been provided as a result of recent construction and renovation projects totaling over $10 million.
In addition to offering a first-rate new sports facility, the $2 million creation of the new Activity Center, which joined the Dobson and St. Mary's buildings, was finished in December 2014.
