A School for the Community
As a school at the very centre of the community, Haydock High is proud of all our students' achievements, including the many and varied events which raise awareness of others' needs and benefit students and residents alike.
The Haydock / Cowley Federation
A Message from the Executive Headteacher
The Local Authority, Governors at Haydock and Cowley have agreed to a formal partnership called a ‘Soft Federation’.
A Soft Federation is when two or more schools agree to work together and are:
- Non-statutory – schools can set up Soft Federations without having to follow regulations such as a Multi Academy Trust
- Each school has its own governing body, with representatives on a joint committee that meets with Cowley Governors
- Members of staff are employed at either school
- Schools keep their separate identities
- All schools share common goals; joint committee recommendations, but it is up to the individual governing bodies to authorise decisions/plans
There are many benefits when schools work together. The Haydock and Cowley federation will support both schools bringing additional opportunities such as:
- Efficiency savings allowing more funding to be spent on learning
- Post 16 learning transition –Haydock students now have a 6th Form of their own
- Recruitment and retention of staff
- Sharing of good practice and learning from each other
- Curriculum expansion –more opportunities for students
- More extra-curricular opportunities
The Federation will bring a new exciting future to Haydock and Cowley.

Haydock Curriculum
The pace of curriculum change continues to accelerate, for example introducing a more flexible Key Stage 3. Our constant planning offers confidence for successful delivery and assessment of these areas.
Over the last few years we have been successful in achieving Sportsmark, Investors in People, Artsmark, Careers and Guidance and Healthy Schools accreditation. We were also awarded the accolade of a ‘Get Set’ school in the run-up to the 2012 London Olympics.
