About

At Richard Hale, our mission is clear: to guide every student towards a future where they embody respect, ambition, and commitment. We instil in our students the values of 'Respect for Others', encouraging them to be individuals of character who not only respect the community, but also strive to contribute positively to society.

We foster a culture of Aiming High, ensuring that every student reaches their full potential. Moreover, we nurture a sense of Commitment, urging students to engage actively in both personal growth and school life, enriching their experiences and those around them. "Learning with Virtue" encapsulates our ethos.

Being a Richard Hale student means upholding values of respect, responsibility, and pride. Our school is a community where every student is supported, and their well-being is paramount. As Ofsted noted, a sense of pride and support permeates our halls, both in academic settings and during breaks, fostering a caring environment that allows each student to flourish.

We are committed to providing an exceptional school experience for every individual who walks through our doors.

Governing body (16 current, 5 former)

iAcademy trust: local governing body and trust board.

17 governors are linked to a profile (all confirmed).

Governors marked “Confirmed same person” have exactly the same forename and surname as the only officer of that name at the school’s own academy trust company on the Companies House register, so we treat them as the same person. The governance record itself comes from DfE.
