We were delighted with the excellent report we received at our Ofsted
Inspection in September 2011. Here are just a few of the great
things they had to say about Hooke Court School.“Provision for
pupils’ spiritual, moral and social development is outstanding. This
is a very small school where all pupils are considered as one
family.”
“An outstanding feature of the curriculum is the range of
enrichment activities which provide pupils with memorable and
enhancing learning experiences.”
“Parents are overwhelmingly happy with the school and as one
parent commented, ‘Staff are wonderful and children are caring
towards each other. It’s an amazing place.’”
“...pupils are extremely well prepared for the next stage in
their school life.”
“...pupils make strong friendships, are happy and no child is
isolated or left out.”
“...pupils have exciting opportunities to learn about their
natural environment, participate in water sports, such as kayaking
and raft building, as well as developing their skills in archery.”

We follow the National Curriculum with an emphasis on Numeracy and
Literacy. Children learn French and German from year 1.The children benefit from the resources held
within the Field Study Centre as well as the wealth of natural
resources in the grounds. This can mean that the children are able to
go pond dipping as part of their science lesson, or perhaps enjoy a
session of cooking in the Tudor kitchen as part of their history. This
provides a unique opportunity which most children are only able to
enjoy when they are away on field trips.
Regular special event weeks, such as Science Week and Explorers
Week, enhance curriculum learning. The whole school participates in
these weeks and they provide an ideal opportunity for the children to
benefit from integration with children of other year groups.
