Chancellor’s is a school which is part of the Danes Educational Trust with approximately 1250 students, aged 11–18.  It is situated in the beautiful village of Brookmans Park in South Hertfordshire.  The school opened in September 1964. The impressive and picturesque grounds are some 15 acres in extent including substantial sports grounds.

We have been a specialist mathematics and computing college since September 2004 and have held a second specialism in languages since April 2008.   

Many of our students come to the school from local villages as well as from Potters Bar and Hatfield.  Additionally, 10% of students are admitted to the school on their musical aptitude.

Our curriculum is broad in Years 7 and 8. In Years 9, 10 and 11 students study a broad core of subjects including PSHE (Healthy Minds), English, Mathematics, Physical Education, Religious Education, Science and ICT.   In addition, students are able to express a limited preference for further subjects to support their individual interests and aspirations.  75% of our students typically study the English Baccalaureate and a large percentage of our students stay on to study in our sixth form.

We are also committed to offering our students a wide range of extra-curricular opportunities.  Music and drama flourish at Chancellor’s with many concerts and performances.  There are clubs for students of all ages, and regular visits are arranged to plays, exhibitions and museums.  The main sports include football, rugby, netball, athletics and basketball and a number of our students play for county teams. 

There are 139 members of staff (both full and part time) including 88 teachers who are supported by a skilled and professional associate staff.

The Trust is committed to safeguarding children and young people.  All post holders are subject to a satisfactory Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check.
