Headteacher Andy Smith welcomes visitors and describes Hayward’s as a positive, happy, open and inclusive school that is 100% committed to helping every child reach their potential. The school emphasises strong family involvement, opportunities for pupils to shape the school (notably the School Council at the heart of decisions), and a welcoming, collaborative community.
The school’s SEND provision is led by the Inclusion Lead Clare Bedford. The school works with a range of outside agencies to support pupils, including the school Nurse, Education and Family Support advisor, Speech and Language Therapists, Educational Psychologists, Behaviour Support, Occupational Therapists, Hearing and Visual Impairment Advisory Teachers and an English as an additional language (EAL) advisory teacher. Two pastoral teaching assistants provide a range of interventions (including Forest School and Nurture support) and THRIVE practitioners support emotional and social needs. If you have concerns about provision, contact the class teacher in the first instance, then Clare Bedford or the Headteacher, and if unresolved, the Chair of Governors. The school has a SEND Information Report (SEND Information Report 2024-2025) and SEND Policy (SEND Policy 2025-2026), plus an Accessibility Plan (Review 2023-2025 and New 2025-2027). Devon Local Offer and Devon SEND Local Offer information are provided for families.
