    Headteacher's Letter

    HEADTEACHER’S LETTER Dear Parents, Hinchley Wood School has a well-established reputation within the area for providing high quality education and good public examination results. This success is based on an approach which combines high expectations with sensitivity to students' individual needs. Well-qualified and experienced staff work together to make this school a successful and happy community. We offer a rich, varied and stimulating curriculum as well as superb purpose built accommodation. As a school, we strive constantly to improve on our previous best. We have received national awards for our GCSE results, the Healthy School's Award for our personal and social development programme and the British Council International School's Award for our work with schools in other countries. We were also one of the first schools in the country to be awarded Music College status which has enabled us to provide a range of new learning opportunities in music and ICT. Particular importance is placed on recognising and rewarding individual achievement. Students are actively encouraged to participate in a wide range of artistic and sporting activities; many gain recognition at local and national level for their achievements. There is also a flourishing school council and a long tradition of student involvement in charity and community work. Students at Hinchley Wood School are able to continue with their studies in the sixth form. The purpose built sixth form centre with dedicated ICT suite and social area provides an ideal learning environment. Students still benefit from the excellent support offered throughout the rest of the school while taking greater responsibility for their learning.
