Joining us at Leigh Academy Tonbridge: Building on the strengths of our legacy school, Hayesbrook Academy, Leigh Academy Tonbridge will open our doors to the first cohort of year 7 students, including boys and girls, for September 2023.
Hayesbrook Academy first opened in 1964. Having always been an all-boys school, our history before then is closely linked to the old Sussex Road Boys School, where records go back to the early 1900s, and so we have a strong tradition of education provision in Tonbridge. The modern-day academy has always been an 11-18 comprehensive school with a mixed sixth form, serving the local community.
Since being the first school in West Kent to gain Academy Status in 2010, the academy led the way in achieving excellent standards and in creating a multi-academy Trust. We were graded Excellent by Ofsted in 2005, 2008, and 2009. The academic success and high standards have continued, and inspections in 2013, 2017, and most recently in December 2022, found the school to be good overall but recognised students' behaviour and attitudes as exceptional (graded as outstanding). Furthermore, the inspection recognised strengths in reading and literacy; careers provision; teachers' subject knowledge; the support provided by the trust and the governing body; as well as identifying the meticulous arrangements for safeguarding.
Being part of Leigh Academies Trust:
As of 1st September 2024, our Trust comprises 33 geographically organised academies (17 secondaries, 14 primaries, and 2 special) educating more than 24,000 students and employing 4,000 talented staff. Currently, 16 of our academies are considered to be Outstanding, which is 53% of those which have been inspected whilst part of the Trust. The Trust is establishing three clusters of academies: LAT Central; LAT West; LAT North. In addition, the Trust is responsible for one of the region's biggest initial teaching training organisations, a large teaching school hub, and is an accredited apprenticeship provider.
Our commitment to safeguarding: Leigh Academies Trust and all of our academies are committed to ensuring the highest levels of safeguarding and promoting the welfare of our pupils, and we expect all our staff and volunteers to share this commitment. We adopt a fair, robust, and consistent recruitment process across all academies and business units which is in line with Keeping Children Safe in Education guidance.

We are committed to providing equality and fairness throughout our recruitment and employment practices and not discriminating on any grounds.
