Building on Hazlegrove’s unique heritage, its fine 18th century house, glorious parkland setting and our enviable facilities, we have extended our resources in many directions over the years.
There has always been a strong sense of ambition associated with the school. Governors, staff and parents have worked together to provide the very best educational resources for generations of pupils.
It is this continued cycle of investment over the last 60 years that has made Hazlegrove the success it is today.
