Croxley Danes School
Croxley Danes School is an all-ability, co-educational state secondary school serving South West Hertfordshire which opened in September 2017. Providing a high quality education to over 1200 students aged 11-18, Croxley Danes provides a safe, happy environment where excellence and aspiration are encouraged and where an ethos of mutual trust allows girls and boys to celebrate one another’s achievements.
It is a school where students flourish and develop a love of learning and a ‘can-do’ attitude to life. Highly skilled, qualified teachers ensure that the focus is on excellence in teaching and enjoyment in learning and that every child is known as an individual. Working closely with the Herts & Bucks Teaching School Alliance, it embraces regional, national and international best practice to ensure that teaching is at the cutting edge and student progress is outstanding.
There is a comprehensive enrichment and extension programme to provide opportunities for students in areas such as music and sport; a small number of places are allocated on the basis of musical aptitude each year so that talented children can benefit from the rich musical programme on offer.
