What the school offers its staff
It is an exciting time to join us. When Ofsted visited in March 2022 they were very clear about the very high quality of education at Haileybury Turnford.
“Pupils love the fact that their school is friendly and welcoming. They say that it is a school where they can be themselves. This is because it is a very tolerant community. Pupils feel very safe. They attend regularly and promptly and take great pride in presenting and organising their work carefully.”
“Pupils know that teachers always expect them to work hard. They are grateful for this. Pupils know that they can always learn in lessons.”
“Leaders have brought improvements to many areas of the school since the previous inspection, including behaviour and the curriculum. Parents are very appreciative of the way the school has changed.”
