Henlow Church of England Academy

Henlow Church of England Academy

Age Range: 11 – 16 years

 

A Rich History in a Parkland Setting Approached by a fine, tree-lined drive, Henlow Church of England Academy stands within the beautiful parkland that once formed part of the historic Henlow Grange. The school was established in 1976 and officially opened in May 1977 by Lord Runcie, then Bishop of St Albans. On April 1, 2012, the school proudly converted to Academy status, becoming a founding member of the Poppy Hill Multi Academy Trust.

 

Modern Facilities for a Secondary Curriculum As a secondary school serving students aged 11 to 16, our site has been significantly extended and modernized to support the full breadth of the Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 curriculum. Our purpose-built accommodation now features:

  • Scientific Discovery: Six high-specification science laboratories.

  • Creative & Performing Arts: A specialist drama studio and theatre for performance and assembly.

  • Sport & Fitness: A spacious four-court sports hall and a state-of-the-art, floodlit Multi-Use Games Area (MUGA).

  • Technology Suite: Ongoing investment is providing brand-new, dedicated rooms for Food Technology, Textiles, Graphics, and ICT to support GCSE and vocational pathways.

 
Extensive Grounds and Outdoor Learning The academy is fortunate to possess expansive outdoor spaces that enhance both the curriculum and student wellbeing. In addition to extensive playing fields for competitive sports, the recent addition of an outdoor amphitheatre provides a unique venue for drama, reflection, and outdoor learning, all set within our historic parkland environment.
