'Behaviour and attitudes are exceptional' Ofsted, 2022.

'Staff are proud to work at the school. There is a strong culture of collaboration and sharing.'

The school's small size means that all pupils are known, valued and nurtured.'

'Senior Leaders have a passionate and ambitious vision about providing high-quality education for all pupils at the leaders are relentless about raising standards and maintaining high expectations by keeping a high profile around the school.'

Joining us at Leigh Academy Tonbridge: Building on the strengths of our legacy school, Hayesbrook Academy, Leigh Academy Tonbridge will open our doors to the first cohort of year 7 students, including boys and girls, for September 2023.

Hayesbrook Academy first opened in 1964. Having always been an all-boys school, our history before then is closely linked to the old Sussex Road Boys School, where records go back to the early 1900's, and so we have a strong tradition of education provision in Tonbridge. The modern day academy has always been an 11-18 comprehensive school with a mixed sixth form, serving the local community.

Since being the first school in West Kent to gain Academy Status in 2010, the academy led the way in achieving excellent standards and in creating a multi-academy Trust. We were graded 'Excellent' by Ofsted in 2005, 2008 and 2009. The academic success and high standards have continued and inspections in 2013, 2017 and most recently in December 2022, found the school to be 'good' overall but recognised students' behaviour and attitudes as 'exceptional' (graded as 'outstanding'). Furthermore, the inspection recognised strengths in reading and literacy; careers provision; teachers' subject knowledge; the support provided by the trust and the governing body; as well as identifying the 'meticulous' arrangements for safeguarding. The report also recognised "Senior leaders are relentless about raising standards and maintaining high expectations...".. Our press release and the full Ofsted report can be accessed here.

The Academy grows, adapts and thrives with each new cohort of students that are welcomed here every September and our recent move to Leigh Academies Trust has strengthened the academy's ability to deliver the very best for our pupils.
