At Hawkedon, we recognise the importance of working collaboratively with other schools. We have long been in informal partnerships with local colleagues and these have helped us develop educationally and operationally.
Joining the Orchard Learning Alliance in April 2024 is an exciting next step and we believe that it will enable our school to thrive into its next forty years and beyond.
