Welcome to Hockerill Anglo- European College and thank you
for visiting our website.
It is a great privilege for me to be Principal of a college which has such a strong association with academic achievement and success.
Academic achievement is imperative, but the values that go with it are more crucial. In an increasingly competitive and complex world, perhaps nothing is more important to today's parents than the future of their children. At Hockerill Anglo-European College we aim to provide our students with an exceptionally well-rounded education that not only equips them with sound internationally recognised academic qualifications but also ensures that they possess the confidence and communication skills to move seamlessly and successfully on in their chosen careers and communities.
I'm proud to say that our recent academic record is outstanding. We have been consistently ranked as one of the top schools in the UK, and our admirable achievements in both GCSEs and the IB programme reflect this. Our last Ofsted inspection also recognised this achievement by grading the College as Outstanding in every category. Of course, there is no room for complacency here and we remind ourselves constantly that there are things we can do better. That is why we spend considerable time monitoring and evaluating what we do as a College and questioning why we do it. In this way we can provide a quality service for our young people and give them a first rate education. However, success in examinations is just one element in a distinctly international approach to education.
We place great emphasis on:-
- a progressive curriculum
- specialist language skills
- the value of teamwork
A good school encourages its pupils to look outwards so that they learn through their experience of how people live and work in their own country and the European and global markets. Just as importantly, these features are balanced by a complementary belief in high standards of behaviour, smart dress and respect for others.
Hockerill is a unique and exciting place to learn. Its agreeable mix encompasses boarders and day pupils, UK and international students, pleasant surroundings and a talented teaching and support team. Between us, we have created a strong feeling of togetherness and community here. Our website we believe fully conveys the essence of the College - its vision, its standards, its people and, most importantly, its students. It is no substitute for a visit however so perhaps one day we might welcome you here.
