Inspiring knowledgeable, enquiring and caring global citizens through excellence in education
Situated on a leafy campus in Bishop's Stortford, just 10 minutes from London Stansted Airport, Hockerill Anglo-European College is a leading UK state boarding school. °ÙÐãÖ±²¥ to a strong, supportive community of around 900 students aged 11–18, including 400 boarders, all five boarding houses are located within the school grounds.
With a long-established reputation for academic excellence, Hockerill students consistently achieve strong results and progress to top universities in the UK and internationally. Many secure places at prestigious Russell Group institutions, and outcomes consistently compare favourably with those of leading independent schools.
The College offers a rigorous and broad curriculum. It is one of the UK's largest state providers of the prestigious International Baccalaureate programmes, offering both the Middle Years Programme (MYP) and the Diploma Programme (DP). Students study two foreign languages to GCSE from an extensive choice, reflecting the College's strong focus on languages and internationalism.
Main entry points are at ages 11 and 16, with some students joining at 13 or 14. After completing the MYP, students progress to GCSEs before embarking on the IB Diploma in the Sixth Form.
Life beyond the classroom is an essential part of the Hockerill experience. A wide-ranging co-curricular programme encourages students to explore new interests, express creativity and develop leadership. Each term, a refreshed roster of around 100 clubs and societies offers opportunities across music, sport, service and innovation – from choirs and orchestras to BMX, the CCF and debating.
The College's global outlook is brought to life through international trips and exchanges. From language immersions in Europe and Asia to biodiversity research in Croatia and outreach projects in Africa, students gain meaningful experiences that broaden horizons and build confidence.
Prospective families are warmly encouraged to visit and discover life at Hockerill.
