You will be aware that at the beginning of October we were visited by a team from Ofsted for a full school inspection.  We are still celebrating the publication of our fantastic report, which was sent to all parents/carers earlier this month.  Ofsted judged Hazelwick to be ‘outstanding’ in all areas, which is a truly phenomenal achievement.  The inspection team recognised that students ‘thrive at Hazelwick School’, that they ‘embody the school values, becoming academically, socially, morally and culturally successful’.  They also emphasised that they achieve exceptionally well in national examinations because the ambitious curriculum and expert teaching inspire students to learn.

After a slight change to the proposed musical due to such a fabulous turn out from our Key Stage 3 students, the audition process for ‘Annie’ began in the last week of September.  Over 70 students gathered around the piano in South Hall as Mr Bayliss and Miss Moore taught the eager students the audition song, ‘Tomorrow.’  A large group of students have also already expressed an interest in being part of the creative and technical team for the show; there is already an excited buzz around the school for this year’s show
