About Lady Hawkins' School
Lady Hawkins' School is a co-educational academy school based in Herefordshire for students aged 11-18. It is a non-denominational school.
The school was founded in 1632. In addition to a large proportion of its sixth form students qualifying for what it considers to be excellent universities, the school encourages extra-curricular activities. Students participate in Duke of Edinburgh Awards, battlefields and field trips, ski trips, and musical and drama productions. Sixth form students also visit Auschwitz and Lady Hawkins' School’s link school in Uganda.

Values and vision
Lady Hawkins' School believes its small size makes it possible for its whole staff to get to know students as individuals and make their personal happiness, care and development a key priority.
Whilst proud of its examination results, the school believes that education is about more than examination results and so prizes development of the whole individual. Its curriculum is designed to be broad and balanced with full national curriculum coverage and a range of academic and vocational options at Key Stage 4 and in the sixth form.
Ofsted
“Teaching is good because teachers have strong subject knowledge and set lively and exciting tasks that enable the majority of pupils to sustain their learning throughout all their lessons. Pupils say that they feel safe and that they behave extremely well throughout the school. Their attitudes to learning are good. Pupils’ personal development as future citizens is good, as is their spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. The sixth form is good. Learners achieve well because the good advice they receive enables them to pursue courses that suit them when they join the sixth form.”
