Hornchurch High School

BACKGROUND INFORMATION – HORNCHURCH HIGH SCHOOL

Hornchurch High School is a popular and successful 11-16 mixed comprehensive, a member of the Partnership Learning Trust. We believe in ‘Excellence for All’. We were formerly called The Albany School but changed our name in September 2018.

Hornchurch High School has an innovative curriculum that ensures students experience a wide range of subjects and opportunities in and outside of the classroom, as well as a new pastoral structure to support our students and their families.  We believe that learning should be engaging and that students should develop as independent learners guided by their teachers. We have new and exciting plans for the near future as we head towards an outstanding judgement from Ofsted.

We take great pride in our relationships with the local community and the other schools and colleges in the area. It is these positive partnerships that enable us to offer our students a variety of educational experiences. We have a rich after school provision for students providing a wide variety of clubs and activities.

Hornchurch High School is a place of learning for all and includes staff as well as students. Continued professional development and training for staff happens on a regular basis with our partner schools. Staff can choose a personalised series of courses to help them develop as individuals which has a positive impact.

Relationships amongst colleagues are pleasant, supportive and good humoured with staff socialising as a body. A great deal of personal commitment has been devoted by colleagues to establishing both the school and individual departments and the resultant pride and sense of achievement are evident in the ethos of the School.
