Recognised as ‘Good’ in all areas by Ofsted in September 2023, The Hinckley School is an 11-18 provider proud to serve the town of Hinckley and the surrounding areas and is committed to providing outstanding learning and achievement for all. The sense of community and belonging at The Hinckley School is clear for all to see, with staff proud to nurture strong, supportive and professional relationships with students throughout their seven-year journey. As students’ progress to GCSE and then to A Level study, they experience high expectations and inspirational teaching, an extensive range of enriching activities beyond the classroom and a learning environment which fosters self-discipline and aspiration.
A bespoke character education programme centred around PRIDE: Perseverance, Respect, Independence, Discipline and Engagement, alongside high-quality pastoral care and excellent academic provision, not only ensures that students graduate from The Hinckley School having secured the destinations of their dreams, but also with the characteristics, strong moral purpose and self-belief to succeed on the modern global stage.
Our partnership with the highly regarded multi academy trust, The Futures Trust, has meant significant investment into school buildings and facilities, enabling us to create a much improved and truly outstanding learning environment for all.

At all levels our staff benefit from support, mentorship, CPD and progression opportunities across the Trust family of 8 schools in Coventry, Warwickshire and Leicestershire. Staff development, workload and well-being is a high priority for all leaders within the school.
