The Hermitage is an oversubscribed 11-19 Academy in Chester-le-Street. We are a Specialist Technology College and also have a specialism within Applied Learning. As a nationally recognised Leading Edge School, we also have an additional specialism within Gifted and Talented provision.
In 2007/8 we received an "Outstanding" grade for overall effectiveness by Ofsted. In 2011 our interim assessment from Ofsted confirmed that we had continued to meet these outstanding standards.
"What makes The Hermitage different is the personal relationships staff have with their students. It's the passion, the commitment to make their lives better and give them the best chances in life."
