Hinchingbrooke School is a ‘Good’ school (Ofsted November 2021). It is oversubscribed and boasts a growing and very successful sixth form. Hinchingbrooke School is also an outstandingly beautiful school. Set in acres of grounds, Hinchingbrooke House was formerly the family home of the Cromwell family and the Earls of Sandwich. We have a fantastic range of much more modern purpose-built facilities, such as a swimming pool, an all-weather sports pitch, a Performing Arts Centre, and a modern fitness suite, available for staff use through our partnership with HBK Leisure. Our focus lies very much in teaching and learning and we believe that this must be the basis of our development work as we seek to fulfil the potential of each one of our students.
