Welcome

I am delighted to have this opportunity to introduce Haberdashers’ Adams to you and thank you for expressing an interest in our school.

 

I firmly believe that any school should be the sum of the parts. This is especially true of Adams. On the pages of this site you will hopefully get a glimpse of what we have to offer and appreciate our values and what we stand for. Our philosophy is simple and hasn’t changed much for many years: we want to develop confident, articulate young men and women who are interesting, balanced and who care for each other.

 

We think we offer an outstanding learning experience but we are so much more than just our examination results. Although we do pride ourselves on our academic success, the outcome of a school should never be measured only in statistical summaries, but rather it is the journey as well as the destination of our pupils that is key to our success. This means we focus on many aspects of the development of our young people – we recognise the importance of developing a strong sense of belonging and believe in educating the whole person and teaching traditional values. By encouraging pupils to take part in the wide variety of activities available, we can nurture their leadership qualities, promote high moral values and encourage excellent communication skills. We want our pupils to be simultaneously competitive, co-operative and caring, as this will ultimately prepare them for life.

 

At Adams we have high standards and we expect the same of our pupils; we want them to be ambitious for their own development, and apply themselves to their studies with intellectual curiosity and academic endeavour. The celebration of success is important to us and we take every opportunity to commend our pupils for their achievements, whether they be at house, school, regional or national level. Our pupils are an inspiration to others around them.

 

Education is a lifelong journey, and we have the privilege of being able to prepare young men and women for the next part of that journey. If you share our values and aims and are interested in learning more about Adams then I invite you to pay us a visit, meet some of our inspirational pupils and spend some time with us in school.

GCSE Results 2026

Celebrating our Year 11 as they receive their GCSE results 2026.

Haberdashers’ Adams is delighted to announce that our GCSE pupils have achieved an excellent set of results; the best since 2022.

A cohort of 148 pupils completed their GCSE studies at Haberdashers’ Adams. The pass rate was 98% (grades 9 - 4).  87% of GCSEs sat were awarded grades 9 - 6, while 66% were awarded grades 9 - 7 and 43% were awarded the highest grades of 9 - 8.

In addition, there were some incredible individual achievements to celebrate. A total of 29 pupils secured grades 9 - 7 in all 10 of their GCSEs. 75% of the cohort achieved 10 GCSEs with grades 9 - 5. The average point score was 74 meaning the average grade was a 7.

The core purpose at Haberdashers’ Adams is to inspire academic excellence, nurture personal growth and develop kind, principled individuals equipped to embrace the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century through a first-class holistic education. Pupils sit ten GCSEs including three separate sciences, a language, a humanity, a performance subject (art, drama, music or PE), maths and English. There were some particularly high results across business studies, the sciences and maths but also in the humanities (geography, history and religious studies).

Headteacher Daniel Biggins said: “I am delighted to share another excellent set of GCSE results and extend my heartfelt congratulations to all our pupils. These outcomes reflect not only their hard work, resilience and determination, but also the unwavering support and commitment of our dedicated staff and families, who have helped them achieve their full potential.

We are particularly pleased that so many pupils will be continuing their journey with us in the Sixth Form, where they will benefit from an environment that encourages both academic excellence and personal growth. Whether they remain at Haberdashers' Adams or pursue new opportunities elsewhere, we are immensely proud of all they have achieved and confident they have bright futures ahead of them.

We also look forward to welcoming new students into our Sixth Form community and are excited to see the contribution they will make to life at Haberdashers' Adams.”
