Hayley Murphy

I have worked for the London Borough of Hillingdon since 2008 and have been part of the School Placement and Admissions Team since 2015. When I first joined the team, I was the lead officer for secondary allocations. Within this role I was responsible for administering applications and offering school places to secondary school age children in accordance with the Council's published admissions policy, School Admissions Code and legislative requirements ensuring that all statutory age children had access to education.  

Since working in the School Placement and Admissions Team, I have built strong relationships with schools, other councils, and internal staff. Partnership working plays a crucial role in our service to continuously improve the quality of education we offer to children and families; it also enables us to build on productive ways of interacting and communicating with residents which has always been a driving force for me.  

I am now a Senior Admissions and Access Officer within the School Placement and Admissions Team. I have extensive knowledge across all aspects of school admissions which has allowed me to step into this position.  I am extremely dedicated and passionate about improving access to education for all children particularly supporting families who are most vulnerable and where children are hard to place.  

Just like we build strong foundations for our homes in order for them to last forever, I believe the same approach should be followed for building a strong learning foundation for children to ensure a future where they can adapt and thrive.
