Joining us at Leigh Academy Tonbridge: Building on the strengths of our legacy school, Hayesbrook Academy, Leigh Academy Tonbridge will open our doors to the first cohort of year 7 students, including boys and girls, for September 2023.

Hayesbrook Academy first opened in 1964.

Having always been an all-boys school, our history before then is closely linked to the old Sussex Road Boys School, where records go back to the early 1900's, and so we have a strong tradition of education provision in Tonbridge.

The modern day academy has always been an 11-18 comprehensive school with a mixed sixth form, serving the local community.

The Academy grows, adapts and thrives with each new cohort of students that are welcomed here every September and our recent move to Leigh Academies Trust has strengthened the academy's ability to deliver the very best for our pupils.

Being part of Leigh Academies Trust: As of 1st September 2023, our Trust comprises 31 geographically organised academies (15 secondaries, 14 primaries and 2 special) educating 20,000 students, and employing 3,000 talented staff.

The Trust is establishing four 'clusters' of academies:
North Kent; Central Kent; South East London; Medway.

In addition, the Trust is responsible for one of the region's biggest initial teaching training organisations, a large teaching school hub and is an accredited apprenticeship provider.

Our future plans are found in our Vision 2030 document available on our website.

As part of Leigh Academies Trust, you will have ample opportunity to collaborate with your peers both within the academy and across the whole Trust.

This is an important part of our vision as we know through experience that we perform better when we work together.

You are supported to undertake regular self-development to continue your professional development and hopefully progress further within the organisation.
