Introduction

The Federation of Haberdashers’ Aske’s Hatcham College and Haberdashers’ Aske’s Knights Academy was set up by the Haberdashers’ Company in order to increase the availability of an Askes’ education to more students and make a wider use of the strengths that Aske’s have to offer.

The Aske’s Vision is one where all students in the Federation are inspired to reach their full potential, regardless of ability or background, where aspirations and achievements are constantly raised through the highest quality academic, personal and vocational teaching and guidance, and where the students and staff at the two academies benefit from each others strengths.

The Federation values tradition as well as progress and offers a balanced learning experience. It provides its students with the necessary academic, personal and vocational guidance to prepare them for the opportunities and responsibilities of adult life and to ensure that each student reaches his or her full potential.
