Headteacher's Welcome

Haggerston School is a high-performing, vibrant academy that sits at the heart of the Community Schools Trust (CST). We are unapologetically ambitious for every student and believe in the power of education to transform lives.

Our school culture—The Haggerston Way—is built on the pillars of Aspiration, Creativity and Character. These values guide everything we do. We set high expectations, promote intellectual curiosity and resilience, and foster a strong sense of personal and collective responsibility.

Academic success is central to our mission. We deliver a challenging, knowledge-rich curriculum that prepares students not just for exams, but for the demands of adult life. Our outcomes reflect our commitment to rigour and excellent teaching. But we also believe that education should build confidence, compassion, and the ability to think independently.

We want school to be a place of possibility. Whether in the classroom, through the Arts, on the sports field or in leadership roles, students at Haggerston are encouraged to discover their strengths and push themselves to improve every day.

I hope this prospectus offers you a glimpse into the culture, energy and ambition that define our school. We value the diversity of our students and are committed to helping every child realise their aspirations.

It is a privilege to lead this exceptional community. I warmly invite you to visit, meet our staff and students, and experience the Haggerston Way for yourself.
