Hoe Valley School is a new co-educational, comprehensive, secondary school in Woking, England. The school was established in 2014, and opened to 4 forms of year 7 students for the first time in September 2015. The school was established by local parents, education leaders and business people under the Free Schools programme primarily to serve the south Woking and surrounding area where students have not had access to places at other local schools.

Establishment of the School

In January 2014, the proposer group submitted an application to the Department for Education under the Free Schools programme for the establishment of a new secondary school to serve south Woking. Following a successful interview with the DfE in March, the proposal was approved to proceed to the 'pre-opening' phase in preparation for the school to open in September 2015.^[1]

Admissions to the School

Applications to Hoe Valley School are managed through the Surrey County Council coordinated admissions process taking place during September and October each year, available at the link below. Hoe Valley School offers 120 places per year group.

School Location

The school opened in 2015 at a temporary site within the grounds of Woking Park on Kingfield Road. A planning application was submitted to Woking Borough Council for a new build site to be created on Egley Road, on the site of the old Woking Nursery, to include a new school site with accompanying community leisure facilities.^[2] Planning permission was granted by the council and the work on the site began in Summer 2016, due for completion for the school to use from the term starting in September 2018.

The Egley Road site is used for the purposes of calculating distance to the school for admissions while the school is in temporary accommodation at Woking Park.
