History
The College was established in 1852 by the Church of England for the training of women teachers, who like their brothers, "would go out to the schools in the service of humanity, lay priests to the poor, moved by Christian Charity".
Hockerill enjoys a rich and varied heritage. Originally established in the early 1850s, it was a teacher training college until 1978. It re-opened in 1980 as a co-educational boarding school until 1994 when it became grant maintained Hockerill Anglo-European School.
1998 proved to be a defining year, as the school underwent a dramatic transformation into Hockerill Anglo-European College. In the process it:
-
became one of the country’s first specialist language colleges;
-
offered a sixth form provision for the first time;
-
chose the International Baccalaureate Diploma programme as the only course of sixth form study.
Progress and Innovation
Since then the College has doubled in size, with around 850 students around a third of whom are boarders from Europe and beyond. There are 80 cosmopolitan, carefully selected, teachers - a large number of whom are bilingual - and, including boarding and support staff, there are around 200 staff overall. We pioneered language school-university partnerships when we joined the University of Nottingham in training future language teachers. Equally significantly our close working and cultural links with a network of partner schools throughout Europe offers all our students the opportunity for regular visits and prolonged study abroad.

Hockerill Anglo-European College was pleased to gain Academy status in February 2011.
