HELLO and Welcome!
We warmly welcome you to Haydonleigh Primary School. We know that choosing a school is a big decision for any parent.
This page is designed to give you an overview of our fantastic school and all the wonderful things our children enjoy when they become part of the Haydonleigh family.
Take a look at the fun we are having at school.
'Delivering the best environment for development'
We have fantastic facilities including a theatre, pastoral room, award-winning kitchen and a purpose-built Early Years Foundation Stage "nest."
Our large grounds boast playing fields, a pond and wooded wildlife area, large outdoor gazebo classrooms, climbing castle, a number of trim trails, a kitchen garden, a London bus library, wheels track and a role play caravan.
Take a look at our amazing learning enviornment.
Our School Values
Our values were created by our pupils, parents, staff and governors. They are at the heart of everything we do reflecting our commitment to belonging, respect and success for everyone. Children are encouraged to live and learn by these values to ensure they achieve their best.
With resilience, our children will not be afraid to participate or make mistakes – they will see every challenge as an opportunity. With kindness, our children will learn to treat others with respect and compassion. With togetherness, our children will enjoy belonging to a community, understand responsibility and value diversity.
Black Cat
When children start their journey at Haydonleigh Primary School they are told the story of Black Cat.
We proudly wear our uniform at Haydonleigh with our fantastic Black Cat Logo.
The School Day
Our School Week is 32.5 hours. The school day starts at 8.40am and ends at 3.30pm Monday to Thursday and at 1.50pm on a Friday. Gates open at 8.30am.
Parking is available in Morrisons.
School Uniform
At Haydonleigh, we believe in having a school uniform as it can support positive behaviour and discipline; it can encourage identity with, and support the ethos of the school, and helps nurture cohesion between different groups of pupils. Our school uniform is an established feature of our culture which supports our ethos and ensures that our students are dressed for success.
For further information please refer to the School Uniform page.
School Meals
We have an award winning kitchen team, providing freshly prepared meals on a daily basis. The kitchen provides a choice of 3 hot meal options and a packed lunch alternative called a 'Grab'n'Go option on a daily basis. School meals are booked online through SCOPAY.
Please refer to the School Menu page for the Hot Lunch and Grab'n'Go Menus.
Breakfast Club
As part of our commitment to Extended School Services, we offer a breakfast club at our school. Children are given a choice of a healthy breakfast and drink and are then able to participate in a wide and varied range of activities. The club runs from 7.45am to 8.40am and is £3 per child per day, term time only.
Haydonleigh PTA
We are very lucky to have an amazing PTA at Haydonleigh, raising funds to contribute to our children's learning environment and provide a variety of experiences and extra curricular activities which enhance their educational journey.
