Head Teacher's Welcome

We are situated in the heart of Sherwood, Nottingham and are a welcoming two-form entry community school for children aged three to eleven. We have approximately 460 children on roll, including nursery provision.

We are a unique school with a strong, shared ethos. What makes us amazing is our passionate staff and engaged children, who share our values of inclusivity and kindness. Each and every leader and teacher at Haydn believes that every child can and should achieve their full potential.

At Haydn, we approach every day as an opportunity. We provide each child in our school with the best start in life by ensuring high quality interactions that build language, imagination and a love of reading. All pupils benefit from a wealth of learning opportunities and experiences that help them to understand the world around them.

Our staff are committed to creating an environment where all children are valued. We have high standards and aspirations and support all our pupils to share and embody them. Our stimulating and enriching curriculum reflects and embraces the community our children are growing up in and supports our pupils to become curious and resilient life-long learners. Our children leave the school equipped with the knowledge they need for future learning, ready to overcome challenges and to succeed in life.

We know choosing the right school for your child is one of the most important decisions you’ll make as a parent. Close links between home and school are really important to us. We develop close relationships with our parents and families throughout their time here. We work to ensure each  child  is happy and fulfilled and through talking to and listening to you, we can ensure your child makes the most of their talents and potential.
