The School
Haberdashers' Abraham Darby is a coeducational secondary school with a sixth form, educating around 1,058 pupils aged 11–18 in Madeley, Telford, Shropshire. The school converted to academy status in September 2008 and is sponsored by the Worshipful Company of Haberdashers. It occupies a purpose-built, modern school building and serves a community with well-above-average levels of socio-economic disadvantage — 45% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, against a national average of 28.9% — alongside a broadly average proportion of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
The school is anchored by three clear values — Aspiration, Respect and Excellence (ARE) — and a vision of "Success for All" that runs through its curriculum, pastoral system and extra-curricular offer. It has a genuinely thriving extra-curricular programme, with particular strength and a track record of external success in music (including its Abraham Darby Showband), rugby, and a fast-growing netball programme, alongside cadets (incorporating Duke of Edinburgh's Award) and a strong sixth-form enrichment offer. The school also benefits from a growing alumni network who return to support current pupils through mentoring, careers talks and work experience. The school is located within a short distance from the picturesque River Severn and Ironbridge Gorge, not far from Telford and Shrewsbury, with good railway, road and motorway links to both the M6 and M54.
The school is backed by a genuinely supportive Trust — both the HWMAT Board of Trustees and the executive team — and by its sponsor, the Worshipful Company of Haberdashers. The Local Governing Body includes skilled, experienced governors who combine strong support with rigorous, informed challenge. The school benefits from constructive relationships with the Department for Education, Telford & Wrekin local authority and neighbouring schools. Staff work hard, and there is a real and growing appetite across the local community — parents, alumni and local employers — to support the school and help it improve outcomes for every pupil.
The Pathways Provision (‘ADAPT and THRIVE’) at Haberdashers' Abraham Darby is a nurture-based support programme for the school's most vulnerable learners, combining small-group teaching (1:6 staff-to-pupil ratio), dedicated facilities, vocational and enrichment opportunities, and pastoral care to help students belong, thrive, and achieve academically and socially. This provision is supported by a generous financial contribution from the Haberdashers' Company.
The Trust and Sponsor
Haberdashers' Abraham Darby is part of the Haberdashers' West Midlands Academies Trust (HWMAT), and, through its sponsorship arrangements, part of the wider national family of schools associated with the Worshipful Company of Haberdashers — a family that includes both private and state schools in London and Wales. This affiliation gives the school access to a network of high-performing schools, shared expertise, professional development and governance support, and a long tradition of academic ambition and civic purpose.
The Trust and its sponsor are committed to supporting the leadership and improvement of Haberdashers' Abraham Darby: the sponsor directly funds ASPIRE, an innovative sixth-form mentoring initiative delivered in partnership with the Trust, and the incoming Principal will have the backing of both the HWMAT Board of Trustees and its executive team.
