About Hockerill Anglo-European College

Hockerill Anglo-European College holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, but the detail beneath that headline tells a more nuanced story. While the overall effectiveness and behaviour-and-attitudes categories were rated Good, the school achieved Outstanding grades for quality of education, personal development, and sixth-form provision. That pattern is reflected in its exam results. The school’s Progress 8 score of 0.38 is well above the national average and more than double the Hertfordshire local authority average of 0.18. This places Hockerill in the top 25% of schools nationally by that measure, and 24th out of 86 similar schools in the county. Its Attainment 8 score of 60.7 is strong, and nearly 95% of pupils entered the English Baccalaureate suite of subjects, with 77% achieving a grade 4 or above in it. The school is clearly academically ambitious, and the data backs that up.
