History

edit

The school was formed in September 1977 from the union of St Nicholas's Grammar School for Boys and St Mary's Grammar School for Girls.[citation needed]

It was named after the local family, as was Haydon Hall.[1] Alice Spencer, Countess of Derby, had the hall built in 1630.

Languages

edit

Haydon was a designated language college teaching students foreign languages. Students entering the school are given three languages to learn until the end of Year eight; the language can only be French, Italian and Spanish. The school offered Japanese, Mandarin Chinese and German classes to students until 2018 when they were unable to continue teaching the languages due to lack of teachers able to teach the subjects.[citation needed]
