Welcome
Welcome to the new website for The Hemel Hempstead School. The school has played a significant part in the borough of Dacorum since 1931. The imposing façade with its stone pillars overlooking extensive playing fields leading to Heath Barn, our 17th century Music centre and thence to the village of Boxmoor, gives an impression of traditional values which underpin the school, whilst our many newer buildings speak of the progressive aspects of our daily work.A recent OfSTED spoke of the ‘many outstanding features’ of our school, which include our ‘Care and Guidance’ and our ‘Personal Development’ as well as our curriculum and Key Stage 4 results. Featuring in the top 100 Most Improved Schools this year as well as the Financial Times Top 1000 schools based on A Level results, we are at the top of our game and in the top 25% of schools nationally on every indicator. The school has recently been identified as a High Performing Specialist school and will be invited to take on an additional specialism in the near future.
Our specialism is Performing Arts, which enlightens and enlivens every aspect of school life. A talented and dedicated teaching staff, a thriving Sixth Form and a focus on examination outcomes whilst providing exceptional care, guidance and extra curricular opportunities, is what you see and what you get here; as our motto says: “Esse Quam Videri”!
We hope that you enjoy your tour of our school, virtually or in reality, because everyone is very welcome to see what we have to offer: an exceptional education in the heart of Hertfordshire.
