Hockerill Anglo-European College (formerly known as Hockerill School) is an international boarding school with academy status located in Bishop's Stortford.

In 1850, Hockerill was founded as a teacher training school for women by the first vicar of the parish of All Saints, Hockerill, the Reverend John Menet. The training school was closed in 1978 and, in 1980, was reopened as Hockerill School when Fyfield School (in Essex) and Kennylands School (in Berkshire) merged. In 1995 it achieved Grant Maintained status and in 1998 became known as Hockerill Anglo-European College. The school also gained Music College status. The Music College was officially opened by Lord David Puttnam on 8 October 2006. It became an Academy in 2011.

Hockerill has more than 800 students, with about a third boarding. There are three types of boarding; full, weekly, and flexible. Full boarders generally live overseas, weekly boarders generally live elsewhere in the British Isles, and flexible boarders may have parents who work long hours. Hockerill also offers the International Baccalaureate (IB).

The International Baccalaureate and MYP[]

In 1998, Hockerill introduced the International Baccalaureate (IB) as the only form of post-16 study and accepted its first sixth form students. In 2012, 100% of Hockerill pupils passed the IB Diploma with an average points score of 36.4. The Middle Years Programme (MYP) was introduced in 2005 for years 7–9 and complements the GCSE and IGCSE taught at the College. In 2018, it was the best state school in the United Kingdom.^{[citation needed]}
