Happiness, Confidence & Achievement

Why Hoe Bridge

We take immense pride in the academic excellence and impressive results achieved by our children, but unlike some schools, not to the exclusion of everything else. This is reflected in our stated ethos, where happiness and confidence have equal prominence to achievement. To us, making friends in the playground, playing sport with fairness and respect, enjoying a myriad of after school clubs and helping others are as important as achieving in the classroom.

We have a defined set of values which are designed and reinforced to ensure respect, courtesy and inclusivity, as well as the most supportive environment for an excellent education and the most fulfilling time at school.                                                          

We have recently introduced our GCSE Hub, which means that families in and around the Woking area can choose to send their child to the same school from Nursery at age 2, straight through to GCSE at age 16. This results in not only continuity of excellence, but potential benefits of not having to use public transport to senior schools in other locations and the ease of dropping off and picking up siblings at the same campus.

So, what kind of pupil does well at Hoe Bridge?

Ready to Get Stuck In  

Our ethos is about having a go at new things, pushing your boundaries and not being afraid to fail.  There is so much on offer – both in the classroom and out of it that we want our pupils to embrace the busy school day, find a new passion, make new friends and get the most out of Hoe Bridge life as possible.  

Team Players  

Kindness and always cheering each other on underpins so much of what we do at Hoe Bridge.  Through a pastorally driven, supportive and smaller school environment, our pupils genuinely care and respect each other, their teachers and the wider community.  They become a tight knit bunch during their time here and it’s clear that friendships formed at Hoe Bridge truly last a lifetime.    

Being Curious  

Our curiosity approach to learning starts at an early age, and we develop children with enquiring minds to have a lifelong love of learning.  This means learning beyond the classroom, and our highly dedicated teachers inspire our pupils to think independently, question the norm and seek out information to complement their studies and outside interests.  

In summary, Hoe Bridge pupils are not afraid to take the plunge, learn new skills, cheer loudly for their peers and be curious in all that they do.
