Welcome
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.
Curriculum
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.
Extra Curricular
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.
Ethos and Values
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.

A huge well done to some of our Year 8 students who received an RSL Award in their Celebration Assembly yesterday! Hand-picked by their Raising Standards Leader for their exceptional attitude, effort and all-round excellence, these boys are exemplary Hurstmere role models. Today, they were presented with their certificates, along with a special pin badge and a £20 Amazon gift voucher to celebrate their achievement. A fantastic way to end the year – well deserved!
