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.

Day packed with culture, history and football in the Spanish capital This afternoon, students explored the famous Las Ventas, learning about the history and traditions surrounding one of the world's most iconic bullrings before heading into the city once again. And of course... no trip to Madrid would be complete without a few chants of "¡Hala Madrid!" echoing through the streets Another brilliant day on the Year 7 Madrid trip with fantastic energy and engagement from all students throughout.
Currently making our way down the incredible Amalfi Coast The views have been unreal as we've driven along the famous "Mamma Mia" roads, winding around the cliffs above the sea. We've just stopped off for fresh orange juice and some quick photos before heading into Amalfi town to explore. Another brilliant day on the Italy trip so far!
