From the Haywood Academy
With over 1000 students enrolled, we continue to be an oversubscribed school that parents like. This has been the case for some time.
Our school is the second largest in the city after a merger of two other schools.
May 2002: The school was chosen to host one of the two City Learning Centers as part of the Excellence in Cities initiative after making a competitive bid.
For other nearby secondary schools, we have developed into an engineering centre of excellence.
May 2005: In May 2005, we joined the LA's 17 core Creative Partnerships schools. In 2008, we joined the program's five secondary schools that were part of the Creative Partnership Change School initiative.
It functions as a community centre and a hub for cutting-edge ICT innovations.
At a time when schools in the area were being reorganised, more independence fostered the formation of a separate, self-assured school with a distinctive ethos that worked to help revive the Burslem community.
By enabling the governors and head teacher to take more control of their own destiny under the direction of a new Chair and Vice Chair of Governors, this contributed to the empowerment of the entire community.
Due to its forward-thinking attitude, preparedness for change, and capacity for handling it while maintaining a clear sense of the future, Haywood was selected in the fall of 2009 to serve as a model school for the city in the BSF Outline Business Case delivered to Partnership for Schools.
Modern science labs, performance studios, a sports arena with four courts, and three sizable open learning zones are now available.
The school applied to become a Converter Academy in September 2011.
Through cross-curricular projects, the Engineering specialisation effectively encourages the practical application of mathematical and scientific knowledge.
The school changed its status to Cooperative Academy in September 2013 after joining the Schools Cooperative Society.
Healthy Schools Award, Investors in People Award, Sportsmark, Artsmark Gold, ECO Schools, Young Enterprise Silver, BME School of the Year/PARINS, Anti-Racist Award, Human Rights, Intergenerational Mentoring, Healthcare & E-mentoring, Peer Mentoring, various Princess Diana Memorial Awards, NCSL Head teacher training (LFTM, Leadership Pathways), Sentinel Class Act Award, Rolls Royce Science 2010 National Final, National Aimhi, and others have been among
