Hockerill Anglo-European College
Bishop's Stortford, CM23 5HX · Hertfordshire · secondary school
28th of 78 secondary schools in Hertfordshire we can score, 82 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 198 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.2/10 among them, against 8.7/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 72.5 · 92 | 30% | 2.76 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.38 · 78 | 25% | 1.95 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 61.7 · 93 | 10% | 0.93 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. The school is rated Good by Ofsted, last inspected in 2023. In 2024/25, 72.5% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 61.7, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.38 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did better than those nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.2 out of 10 among them, against 8.7 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join the College Big Band, Orchestra, and Choirs, or play Rugby, Hockey, and Basketball. Trips include exchanges to Japan and Italy, a China Tour, and skiing in Austria. An after-school club is available.
Getting in. The school has 926 pupils in a capacity of 728, meaning it is over capacity by 198. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the college manage the significant over-enrolment in daily operations? What specific support is offered to pupils to help them achieve the higher attainment seen in the raw scores? How accessible are the international trips for families with varying budgets?
