A warm welcome from our Principal
Our school is a popular, non-selective secondary academy for boys aged 11 – 16, serving the local community of Sidcup. Hurstmere School is a special place, with a strong sense of community and a determination to succeed in all that we do.
Our vision is for our pupils to 'Believe and Achieve'; to be the best that they can be. By promoting high aspiration and fostering a confident, self-belief that with hard work and determination, there are no boundaries to what they can achieve.
At Hurstmere, we have high aspirations for all our pupils, and our broad and balanced curriculum is tailored to foster a love of learning. We deliver a curriculum which is coherently planned and sequenced towards cumulatively sufficient knowledge for skills to give our pupils the foundations to fulfil their ambitions.
At Hurstmere, we believe that learning goes well beyond the classroom. We encourage every pupil to take part in extra-curricular enrichment activities and we are proud to offer an extensive range of clubs, trips and activities that are accessible to all. Our in-school and local offer spans from Bee Keeping to Lego club to our Nationally successful football teams.
Our vision is for our students to have high aspirations and a confident self-belief, that with hard work and determination, there are no boundaries to what they can achieve; that our students believe in themselves and achieve their full potential.

Apprentice Information Event
A huge well done to our amazing Year 11s who have completed their GCSE French speaking exams this week! You've worked so hard, shown real dedication, and we hope you're feeling proud of what you've achieved. Bonne chance for the rest of your exams you've got this!
Hurstmere Year 10s 112-8 beat Chis and Sid 110-7 by two runs. An excellent way to start the season
Some lucky Year 8s got the chance to throw multiple buckets of ice-cold water over their Raising Standards Leader this afternoon. As a school, we'd like to use the ice bucket challenge to continue to raise awareness around supporting the mental health of all of our young people. We are lucky to have our own mental health Place2Be practitioner based in school, who does so much to help support our students.
