Hinchley Wood is an inclusive, highly sought after and high achieving school in Esher, Surrey; celebrating student progress and development as well as academic achievement. Catering for students aged 11-18, we have a well-established reputation within the area for providing a high quality and broad education, and are one of the 100 top performing schools in terms of the progress our students make between the end of Key Stage 2 and their GCSEs. We have a growing 6th form with a current roll of over 230 students. In September 2011 Ofsted judged the school to be outstanding, highlighting the excellent progress all groups of students make as a key strength: “Hinchley Wood is an outstanding school – the students work exceptionally well together in this harmonious and cohesive community, and achieve outstanding outcomes.” (Ofsted, September 2011) We pride ourselves on our well qualified and experienced staff who work together to make this school a successful and happy community, and we welcome new colleagues who have a strong desire to help students of all abilities achieve the best they can, whilst fulfilling their own potential. We offer a rich, varied and stimulating curriculum to students as well as high quality purpose built accommodation. Particular importance is placed on recognising and rewarding individual achievement. Students are actively encouraged to participate in a wide range of artistic, musical and sporting activities; many gain recognition at local and national level for their achievements. We have an enthusiastic and effective school council, a very active school sustainability group and a long-standing and popular tradition of student involvement in charity and community work.
