Worst teacher there
Bad reputation of the new vice principal, punished pupils too hard and unfairly.

Highly recommend
This has been an excellent school. My son has excelled here (as someone who is not traditionally academic), and the boarding house environment has been caring, but orderly. We have had one or two occasions where things have not gone quite as planned, as you would in any secondary school, and the staff have dealt with things exceptionally well. I would highly recommend this school to anyone.

Awful do not attend.
School is appalling. They only care for money and the children that ‘can do’ if your child needs support or extra help they do not care for these children. They only like the children who are more capable and allow the others to fail or struggle. Head teacher is disgusting and actually says ‘if we call you to inform you your child has done something do not argue with us telling us they haven’t because we’re telling you they have’ which is absolutely awful as parents know their children better th...

depends on how you behave
as a student here, I think its a pretty good school, apart from the fact that the teachers will try to target you, pick on you, and often blame stuff on people when it wasn't even them that did it if you act suspicious.

A poor school at best
Former student of 5 years here. Hockerill has massively gone downhill. Siblings and many former students agree, as well as their parents who I have talked to on the matter. Teachers are leaving at an astounding rate. Language facilities have gone downhill and language trips are virtually non-existent these days. This was Hockerill's bragging point, the thing they always claimed to be brilliant at, which they no longer can do truthfully. However, they undoubtedly will try to fool parents of pros...

disappointed former student
I was thoroughly disappointed with this school. when I joined in year 7, I enjoyed it. However, I found it quickly went downhill. the student support is bad, especially the mental health support of which is appaling. Multiple times they have tried and even been successful in kicking out students experiencing mental health struggles to avoid ruining their reputation. Never before have I seen so many people being forced out of a school. As well as this, the drug issues are very apparent. During a school assembly during my year, at 9am a large portion of the year had taken drugs. One overdosed during assembly and narrowly survived after medics managed to save him. His friends, who had been promised lenience if they told the school the details of the incident were all expelled. No one was even talked to about the incident and it was as though they hoped we would forget it. It is even on the news, listed as an 'isolated incident'. lies. The actual education isn't bad as long as you're clever enough to take things into your own hands. Students who are independent and clever can still do well. However, anyone needing support, I highly recommend finding a different place of education. If you plan to let your child come here, please keep an eye on them, and trust them over what their teachers may say.

Former student responds to other former student
This school is a wonderful school. And the person who wrote the other review clearly had some issues at home or something because he is slandering the school for nothing. A school can do it’s best to prevent things like sexual assault form happening and in my opinion they do this well, however they can’t control a students every move so the school having a sexual assault case is almost irrelevant, also boarding and school are run as seperate entities in other words the school can’t spend boarding money as this is illegal so please get your facts right. And to top it all of all the teachers here are doing their best and their best is among the best of the country and this other former student below clearly was badly behaved otherwise they wouldn’t try expel them.

Hockerill Is a place where the teachers don’t care abt the students only abt the money they earn as a teacher they won’t teach you new things only the same for half the yr there is this female teacher that tried to expel me for 2 yrs but failed every time because nothing she accused me for wasn’t actually me and when the real person was caught nothing happened Hockerill is on the sexual assault list many teachers will try there best to embarrass you in front of the whole class on purpose and if...
