Leaders in Learning

We are immensely proud of the wealth of skills, experience and dedication we possess in the people who work at The Henley College. Across all teaching and operational areas, highly-qualified and committed staff offer an extensive range of knowledge and expertise, both academic and industry based, which blend to give our students the very best learning experience.

Academic excellence underpins all of our teaching programmes and we provide a learning environment that supports our students to reach their potential, including opportunities for virtual learning, first class specialist facilities and spaces where learning can flourish. As leaders in learning, we recognise the importance of developing well-rounded individuals who are ready to face the challenges of their next steps towards future prosperity in roles that may not even exist yet. Our motto, ‘Come questioning, go seeking, grow’ is the theme that runs through everything we do. We believe it is vital for our students to be encouraged to think creatively and become independent, confident, questioning and innovative learners. We are ambitious for our students and ourselves and, as part of this, we are always looking for ways to improve our offer and align what we do with the future needs of the local, national and global economy. We have close relationships with universities, employers, industry and the wider community who all contribute to our students’ formal and informal learning. Our extensive range of A Level and vocational subjects combine with a varied mix of enrichment options including sport, the Arts and community projects which create exciting opportunities for our students to get involved and develop skills and interests that will help them secure their future. We will teach you how to learn facts, how to think differently, how to progress when you are stuck, and how to be resilient when faced with challenge. To access the highest marks, you will need to be able to evaluate, analyse and challenge. We will teach you how to harness these life skills through critical and creative thinking, so you can succeed now and in the future. Through the careful presentation of ideas and thoughtful questioning, our teachers will ensure that your learning and thinking moves rapidly from superficial to insightful, thoughtful, and reflective. Our aim is to inspire you to make exceptional progress and achieve outstanding results. At the end of your time at College, we want you to leave not only with great academic results, but with a sense of pride, self-confidence and resilience.
