What the school offers its staff
Context
Hawkley Hall is a high performing, heavily oversubscribed, mixed comprehensive school of around 1182 students. The school was graded as good in all areas by Ofsted in February 2019.
We see successful education as a partnership between parents, students, and ourselves. Links with parents are of paramount importance, with regular and frequent contact via parents’ evenings, reports, newsletters, and the school planner contributing to a continuing dialogue about the curriculum we provide for our children.
Facilities
The school is situated in the southwest of Wigan, close to the M6 motorway, in an area of substantial private development. A wild fowl nature reserve borders the school grounds providing an open attractive outlook to the site.
We provide bespoke facilities for students across all of our 9 faculty areas. We strategically invest in our ICT and site. For example, in the last 12 months we have invested over £600,000 in our design technology area to support the further development on STEM learning.
Commitment to CPD
Staff development is also at the heart of our school. All staff engage in regular professional learning in faculty and beyond. Staff in leadership roles are supported internally and are encouraged to engage in additional training through the national programme of NPQs. Indeed, a number of our colleagues who have been Lead Practitioners have gone on to further senior roles in the school.
Commitment to safeguarding
At Hawkley Hall High school, your child’s safety and wellbeing is very important to us. Our students regularly receive guidance and support in school about how to keep themselves safe but we recognise that sometimes, as parents and carers, you may also wish to seek advice or support regarding an issue which is affecting your child. This section of our school website will signpost you to resources and information that you may find helpful on a range of issues that affect our young people.

We are an 11 – 16 mixed comprehensive of around 1000 students and 150 staff situated to the west of Wigan. We are a community of students, staff, parents and governors with a common goal. We strive for the highest standards in everything we do.
We are proud of our positive, caring ethos based on a set of expectations we call ‘The Hawkley Way’ which has a fundamental principle at its heart; the principle of mutual respect. The students themselves coined the phrase in our code of conduct, ”Treat other people with respect to be respected in turn”. We believe this principle is essential for our happy and successful school community.
Hawkley Hall is a special place which has the highest expectations of our students ensuring that they achieve their potential. As an outstanding school, with National Support School and National Teaching School Status, our students and staff are provided with extensive opportunities.
Our success is built on core values of mutual respect as well as a clear understanding of the conditions required for effective learning. We have sustained our success because the following foundations are in place:
clear expectations of effort and behaviour
highly effective pastoral support
a culture of academic success and progress
high quality teaching
effective opportunities for student leadership to be developed
excellent buildings and resources that enhance learning
a broad and balanced curriculum
Our commitment to providing the best possible education means we are never satisfied and are always looking for opportunities to improve. We place high value on development and research and as a result we attract the best teachers and support staff.
We are always open to visitors and would be happy to welcome you into school so you can appreciate the Hawkley Way.
