Education
The town's two upper schools, Samuel Ward Arts and Technology College and Castle Manor Business and Enterprise College, are thriving. Samuel Ward's ethos looks towards the future; the school's slogan is: "The best way to predict the future is to create it.". Castle Manor focuses on the pride and achievements of its pupils, asking: "What have you done today to make you proud?". These positive messages are reflected in the schools' results.
At the other end of the educational spectrum childcare facilities and early years' education are well supported in the town. There are several children's centres offering integrated education, care, family support and health services to the local community while providing childcare for children from birth to five years and from five to twelve years. All have received positive Ofsted reports.
"Haverhill is a town where education and business work side by side so that young people can gain the skills, experience and awareness relevant to modern society."
