HoH 6th Form prospectus

We believe in the huge potential of our pupils and focus relentlessly on high aspirations and high achievement. Every child must be challenged, every gap to be closed and every learning opportunity is to be taken. The Hundred of Hoo Academy is committed to providing a world class education that covers a broad range of experiences, giving our pupils the tools to be successful in whatever they put their mind to. Our aim is that every pupil will go on to the best university or a career of their choice.

We provide excellent teaching, backed up with regular and robust assessment. We make sure we know every student well, so that we understand their needs and provide realistic and stretching goals. We are a disciplined Academy, where pupils thrive in a culture defined by mutual respect and exceptional behaviour. We see parents as our partners and work closely with families to secure the best possible outcomes for their children.

At The Hundred of Hoo Academy, we not only value education in the classroom, we believe our experiences define us. Pupils are given a wealth of opportunities, alongside activities that they have the right to experience. During a pupil’s two years within the Sixth Form at The Hundred of Hoo Academy they will develop new skills, make new friends and be involved in life-affirming experiences. Every young person will have an entitlement to rich and fulfilling experiences both inside and outside of the Academy walls.

Throughout their Sixth Form experience, pupils will be entitled to attend a variety of trips that are tailored to the advanced subject study. External lectures, seminars and collaboration with local Universities is also embedded across the curriculum to support pupil’s outcomes. The cultural development supported by trips, along side their academic benefits, ensures that trips are a vital aspect of our young people’s growth and progress.

We truly embrace the fact that pupils’ learning is not confined to the classroom, but truly happens in any and every aspect or walk of life.

We are an Academy with a proud sporting heritage. Our committed staff body give every pupil the opportunity to participate in a plethora of activities. Taking part in sporting activities has benefits beyond improved fitness; communication, team-work and leadership are just some of those other benefits.

As a new student to the Academy, when I first joined I was nervous and apprehensive; I was instantly met with acceptance from not only the student community but the teachers too. The teachers, despite being new to me supported me immediately with my anxieties with joining a new
environment. My academic abilities and needs were nurtured and supplied for, and for the first time in five years of education I felt as if my work was appreciated, and that my voice as a student mattered.

The Sixth Form here is genuinely special, and I have never been with a community who genuinely get along as well as ours does. The Leadership Team always encourages our Prefect Team to create our own intercommunity events, but has been amazing at organising bigger events like theatre trips, and even a trip to Cambridge University to highlight that
anything is possible if you work hard, regardless of the starting point.

This has been the best academic and social experience within my formal education that I have had, and I genuinely from the bottom of my heart cannot thank the Sixth Form and teachers enough for making me feel as if I had been here the whole time with the rest of my community.

I have never been happier, and I will forever be indebted to the school for making my belief in my academic ability, and strength of my voice as a student, woman, and human, the strongest it has ever been.
