Hitchin
Hitchin Boys’ School operates as an Academy Trust, providing a comprehensive and
traditional single-sex school education which is both highly academic and rooted
strongly in its community. Students consistently achieve at the very highest
level and each year the percentage of students gaining five or more A*- C grade
passes at GCSE including English and Maths is significantly above the national
average. Most students go on to higher education including some of the most
prestigious universities in the country. Our belief is that all students can
achieve excellence with the right support and challenge. The School prides
itself on helping young people to achieve whatever their ability, and we
celebrate the successes of students in a great variety of activities - sport,
music, drama, community and charity work, as well as in the classroom. Fergal
Moane, Head Teacher Hitchin Boys' School was inspected by OFSTED in January 2016
and was graded as an outstanding school, retaining this accreditation in the
subsequent 2021 inspection. The most recent report notes that “The headteacher
and his team have maintained an outstanding school. Their vision for the school
is shared widely among all staff. There is a passion to develop pupils both
academically and as well-rounded British citizens.” Inspectors also said “Pupils
enjoy their time at school. They care about each other and get on well with
staff and with their peers. Pupils are polite and respectful. They bring to life
the Hitchin Boys’ School values of respect, teamwork and kindness. We are
delighted with the outcome of the latest inspection and very happy that the
OFSTED inspectors recognised our vision for a well-rounded education which
strikes a balance between personal development and academic excellence. We
believe that it is effort and hard work which makes success and high
achievement.We are committed to a broad-based academic curriculum ensuring that
all will have the chance to study the core subjects including English, Maths,
Science, Languages, Humanities and the wider subjects including Art, Music,
Sport and Technology. We also provide vocational options to meet the needs of
our boys.
