Hoe Valley School is a new co-educational, comprehensive, secondary school in Woking, England. The school was established in 2014, and will open to 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]
