WELCOME!

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to our website.

This is a very caring and happy school which sets high standards and believes the relationship between school, student and home is strongest when all are working towards a common goal of success. We also believe that this success will be best achieved within the well-ordered and pleasant learning environment that Hassenbrook is able to provide.

It is our intention to ensure that every student is regarded as an individual and is encouraged to expect more of themselves. This will allow them to feel that they are contributing to the development of the school as a whole.

This year we have improved results and enhanced learning by creating a better environment.

The staff and I are committed to further improving the quality of education at Hassenbrook. We are determined to allow students to realise their full potential and very often to exceed it.

At Hassenbrook, the opportunities for excellence continue even after the school day ends. Our pupils have a very wide range of extra curricular activities to choose from. Everyday, homework club provides pupils with the space, resources and support they need as they study. In addition, all sorts of creative, sporting, academic and special interest groups meet to use the wonderful facilities we offer. There are also plenty of trips away from the school that help our pupils experience new ways to learn. From drama productions to Technology Clubs and Poetry Competitions to Outdoor Activity Holidays, there is something for everyone to enjoy.
