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

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.

Our Year 10 GCSE Music class visited the Royal College of Music for a hands-on Indonesian gamelan workshop. They also got to perform as part of a full ensemble, developing their listening, coordination, and collaborative skills while exploring non-Western musical traditions. The visit also included a tour of the Royal College of Music Museum, where students got to handle the world-class collection of historic instruments. The trip provided a valuable opportunity to bring classroom learning to life and deepen students’ understanding of world music within the GCSE curriculum. @rcmlondon #thehurlinghamacademy #unitedlearning #educationwithcharacter #royalcollegeofmusic #royalcollegeofmusicmuseum #musicinschools #youngmusicians #indonesiangamelan

“The best moments under the lights at the Lyric Theatre ✨ Monday’s performance of Cloud Busting brought to a close one of The Hurlingham Academy’s most exciting productions to date. Taking on a brand-new script that had never been staged before was no small feat, but our students rose to the challenge. A huge thank you to Mr Wright for all the time and effort he put into ensuring the performance was a success, and to @ntconnections it for the opportunity to be part of the programme. Well done to all the pupils who participated — we’re already looking forward to next year’s show! #thehurlinghamacademy #nationaltheatreconnections #lyrichammersmiththeatre #cloudbusting @lyrichammersmith @helenblakeman #educationwithcharacter

It's been a busy start to the Easter Term for our Girl's Football Teams. In week one, our U15 Girls kicked off against Hammersmith Academy in a scrappy affair. Windy conditions made maintaining possession difficult, but the team dug in for a 2-1 victory with both goals coming from Faith. This match was quickly followed by a double header against Holland Park. With a few key players missing, a few of the girls ended up playing both matches showing outstanding character. Sadly, both matches ended in defeat to close out a busy week. However, we bounced back in week two with victories for both our U13 & U15 teams against Thomas More. Notably impressive was the result from our U13's with Hera leading the charge in an 8-0 win! As the league campaign starts to come to a close, our attention will now turn to the cup finals coming later in the summer. #thehurlinghamacademy #educationwithcharacter #unitedlearning #qprschoolsleague

Having students who not only understand but actively engage in sustainable practices is what makes The Hurlingham Academy so special. Last term, a group of our pupils travelled to Oxford to present updates on our sustainability objectives. They were outstanding representatives of the school, and we’re excited to continue developing our green spaces! #thehurlinghamacademy #educationwithcharacter #unitedlearning #stannescollege #sustainabilityinschools #ecoschools #studentsforclimate
