About Haberdashers' Hatcham College, Pepys Site

Haberdashers’ Aske’s Hatcham College became an Academy in September 2005 and joined the Haberdashers’ Aske’s Federation as Lead School for the two other academies; Haberdashers’ Aske’s Knights Academy and Haberdashers’ Aske’s Crayford Academy.

The Federation vision is one where all students are inspired to reach their full potential, regardless of ability or background, where aspirations and achievements are constantly raised through the highest quality academic, personal and vocational teaching and guidance, and where the students and staff at all three academies benefit from each other’s strengths.

Hatcham College has long been established as one of the leading independent state schools in the country. Our GCSE and A-Level results put us within the top 10 Independent state schools in the Country and we are very proud of the achievements and successes of our former pupils.
