History

In 1850, Hockerill was founded as a teacher-training college for schoolmistresses by the first vicar of All Saints' Church, Hockerill, the Reverend John Menet. The training school was closed in 1978 and, in 1980, was reopened as Hockerill School when Fyfield School (in Essex) and Kennylands School (in Berkshire) merged. In 1995 it achieved grant-maintained status and in 1998 became known as Hockerill Anglo-European College. The school also gained Music College status. The Music College was opened by Lord David Puttnam on 8 October 2006. It became an academy in 2011.

The International Baccalaureate and MYP

In 1998, Hockerill introduced the International Baccalaureate (IB) as the only form of post-16 study and accepted its first sixth form students. In 2012, 100% of Hockerill pupils passed the IB Diploma with an average points score of 36.4. The Middle Years Programme (MYP) was introduced in 2005 for years 7–9 and complements the GCSE and IGCSE taught at the college.
