Student Voice
The Haydon Student Voice is a group of around 300 students who partake in decision-making around the school in things that affect the students, sometimes including important decisions affecting its future. Haydon School has an active Student Voice body who meet on a regular basis to discuss issues and concerns about the school. The leaders of each Action team then meet and discuss these things with the Deputy Heads and look at possible ways they can make real improvements at Haydon. They have produced assemblies and posters to put around the school to inform the students about the voice they have, how to use it, and how to get involved. They have produced a "Mission Impossible" themed assembly which has shown staff and students that the Student Voice does make a strong difference to Haydon. Recently, the Student Voice have been working on a 'Pride Of Haydon' award show, to showcase talents that don't normally get recognised, but also to highlight some staff and students that might not get mentioned. They are also looking at creating more places for students to spend their break and lunchtimes and trying to improve the school canteen with student feedback.
New Headteacher Regarding the retirement of Mr.Robson last year, Mr. R Jones was newly appointed as permanent Headteacher of Haydon School. He was appointed the role on 25/01/2013. Up until now he had the role of 'Acting Headteacher', like a regent, if you like.

“O life as futile, then, as frail!
O for thy voice to soothe and bless!
What hope of answer, or redress?
Behind the veil, behind the veil.”
