A creative learning experience for all

As we prepare our young people for successful careers, we seek to develop our ambitious curriculum through an educational approach to learning that encourages creativity and practicality which provides access points for guiding student inquiry, dialogue, and critical thinking. The end results are students who take thoughtful risks, engage in experiential learning, persist in problem-solving, embrace collaboration, and work through the creative process.

All forms of the Arts – visual, musical and performing, are used to provide opportunities for students to develop their individual talents and also apply these creative principles to their whole curriculum. Musical excellence is a key feature in the life of the school from choirs and ensembles, to large scale concerts, small groups and community events.

Hatch End High School has been awarded Artsmark Gold – this is the Arts Council England’s flagship programme, which recognises and celebrates organisations’ outstanding strengths and cultural provision in the Arts.

We offer an outstanding range of “applied learning” courses to complement our rigorous academic curriculum.

Physical well-being is essential in any young person’s development. The diversity of sports that the school provides is impressive, ranging from football, netball, gym and cricket, through to table tennis, fencing, boxing and many more.
