On Thursday 3rd of October, we celebrated National Poetry Day. This year, year 7 students had the exciting opportunity to take part in a Guiness World Record. Twenty-nine of our year 7 students joined schools from around the country on a Zoom call endeavouring to create a new world record: most students on record co writing a poem. Delivered by renowned author Laura Mucha, our students shined as they shared their thoughts and collaborated to create poetry.

We would like to offer a warm invitation to our annual open evening on Wednesday 25th September, 5.00pm - 7.00pm.

Throughout the evening, those attending will have the opportunity to explore our school grounds and speak with our teachers and students regarding learning and life at Hazel Wood High School.

Over the past year, Year 7 have been challenged with completing 50 tasks as part of our Oak Experiences package. Students are rewarded for their participation through our termly rewards assemblies and are given a certificate upon completing 30, 40 and all 50 tasks. We have currently five students who have achieved the Sapling Award for completing over 40 tasks.

Key Stage 3 students worked hard with The National Literacy Trust to celebrate Refugee Week and increase awareness on the topic across school.

Hazel Wood High School offer a range of experiences that enhance our students’ cultural capital via our ‘Oak Experiences’ programme. As part of this Sixty-nine of our Year 7 students enjoyed an overnight residential to Castle Howard in Yorkshire on Monday 17th June, enjoying bushcraft activities surrounded by beautiful lakes and landscapes within 2,100 acres of private woodland.
