Hewens College

Hewens College is an inclusive college that provides education for children aged 11 to 19 and is committed to creating a learning environment where every student can make good progress and achieve their fullest potential. The College embraces innovative ideas and good practice to provide a welcoming, caring and nurturing environment.
With a curriculum designed to help our students become happy, successful, self-reliant and creative members of the society which their generation will build, Hewens College is the place where the future begins.

We strive to create a community which is welcoming, inclusive and supportive; where young people develop a genuine appetite for deep learning, together with an enthusiasm for life. We have a caring ethos, supported by a strong pastoral system which ensures that children are safe and happy at college, allowing them to flourish academically. We believe that education should not only focus on the delivery of challenging lessons which lead to outstanding academic results, but should also aim to develop each individual by exploring all aspects of learning; nurturing personal identity, encouraging empathy and embedding the importance of respect and integrity.

We encourage all our students to strive continually to achieve their personal best.
We are ambitious for each individual and through our innovative curriculum and structure, seek to build self-esteem and raise aspirations. Our intensive and systematic monitoring and tracking of students ensures that they receive appropriate support at all times during their school career.

We believe in education in its broadest sense. Extra-curricular activities are of the utmost importance and an integral part of the overall education of our students. We run a programme of events, which both complements coursework and also offers other unique experiences.

Great importance is placed on communication with our parents, guardians and carers. Consultation and academic tutoring meetings for students and their parents, guardians and carers provide the opportunity to discuss, in detail, progress and achievement as well as the way forward.

Hewens is an inclusive College. We work hard to create a community in which all individuals feel valued. We believe that a community thrives when it is built upon respect; respect for individuals, for the environment, for property. Ours is a College where good manners are important. We want our students to grow into polite, considerate and responsible members of society. Our aim is supported by our policy of rewarding achievement and by the opportunities we provide for adopting responsible positions within the College.

We provide an atmosphere which enables our students to acquire a wide range of knowledge, skills and practical abilities. We strive for excellence in all we do.
