Education With Character

Welcome to The Hurlingham Academy

I hope this website will give you a sense of what makes us an Outstanding school (Ofsted 2024). I am incredibly proud to be the Principal at The Hurlingham Academy; a place where students thrive academically and socially in an atmosphere of mutual respect, tolerance and diversity. 

Our academic approach is for every student in every lesson to enjoy learning.  We strive to ensure that our teaching standards are high, and children feel safe and supported in school. Lessons follow a knowledge-rich and rigorous curriculum. This learning environment has produced our best GCSE results ever.

The Hurlingham Academy is a close-knit school community that learns together, has fun together and continues on a journey towards all-around excellence.

The best way to see what we can offer your child is to come and visit. We look forward to meeting you.

Leon Wilson
Principal

The Hammersmith & Fulham Foodbank are in serious need of more donations. We are collecting to support those in our community who might be struggling. Basic items that are most needed include: Tinned fish, tinned soup, tinned fruit, tinned tomatoes, tinned kidney beans, tinned chickpeas, tinned sweetcorn and tins of baked beans. Tins of vegetarian chili or curry would also be helpful. Jars of cooking sauces and pasta sauces along with breakfast cereals, porridge oats and long-life milk are needed as is toilet roll. ‘Luxury’ items include: Chocolate biscuits, advent calendars, mince pies, peanut butter, yule logs, Christmas crackers, stuffing, gravy granules, dates and dried fruit. Toiletries including shower gels and shampoos as well as baby care products such as nappies are also crucial. Washing detergent is also helpful. The truck will be taking away the collection on the 17th or 18th of December and so we have lots of time to collect as much as we can. @hffoodbank #givingtuesday #hammersmithandfulhmafoodbank

Year 11 artists visited @Courtauld Institute of Art on Monday, exploring Monet’s 'En Plein Air' pieces and creating outdoor sketches. A great prep for their mocks! 🎨🖌️👏 #ArtTrip #Monet #CreativeLearning #hurlinghamacademy #educationwithcharacter #courthauld #art

Our Year 11 Mandarin GCSE class embarked on an enlightening journey focused on language and culture, delving into Chinese history @BritishMuseum, participating in a guided tour of the #ChinaGallery that emphasized pivotal moments in Chinese civilization. Wrapping up with a visit to Chinatown, they confidently ordered food and drink in #Mandarin. Their enthusiasm and inquisitiveness throughout the afternoon were truly remarkable! #learnchinese #chinese #modernforeignlanguages #educationwithcharacter #learnmandarin #grammarstream

As I said last week, one of my favourite sayings is, “good schools don’t wind down,” and The Hurlingham Academy proves this to be absolutely true. I’ve been genuinely amazed by everything the staff have organised recently. Just in the past two weeks, we’ve had careers talks, Prom, music trips, an art exhibition, animation workshops, scavenger hunts, numerous trips, and a Year 6 induction day. I actually had to ask my senior management team what day it was yesterday — it’s been that full-on!

As Principal of our school, this has been a week filled with proud moments. I have watched our key stage 3 pupils come to the end of their assessments, welcomed our new cohort of year 7s for their first induction day and got to celebrate another successful GCSE season with year 11 at their prom. With so many wonderful examples of success around the academy, I expect all pupils to be inspired, try their best and make the most of the opportunities we have coming up over the next couple of weeks.

The Hurlingham Academy is a school which has high expectations and takes pride in its students, staff and teaching. It's a place of joy as much as a place of serious learning. I think that's really important. My son is very happy at THA and that brings me a lot of comfort.
Hurlingham Academy is a exceptional school. Someone that was really worried about her first born going to school, Hurlingham has definitely calmed my nerves. My child loves going to school and has thrived in all of his subjects. Hurlingham Academy really dedicates its time and effort to make sure that every pupil receives the right resources in order to be successful in life. Their excellency highlights the reason why they have been rated outstanding by Ofsted.
