School is about much more than examination results, important as those are. Their students’ wellbeing is paramount: they aim to know every one of our students. They want them to be happy, and also want every one of them to feel there is someone in school to whom they can turn if needed.

Beyond the classroom, they aim to provide a wide range of high-value extra-curricular opportunities. This is for their students to meet their needs and interests, to develop them as well-rounded young people and to enable them to have fun!

The educational experience at Hinchingbrooke brings change, challenge and opportunity. The students’ personal response to these goes a long way to determining their quality of life after leaving school. This is why from day 1, they emphasise Hard Work, High Standards, and Kindness.
