WELCOME

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.

TESTIMONIALS

TESTIMONIALS

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.

Hurlingham is an excellent learning environment run by a passionate, dynamic senior leadership team. The teachers are demanding and inspirational which means the children believe they can achieve.
