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.

The Rewards Prize Draw took place on the morning of 20th May and was a fantastic celebration of student achievement, attendance and positive contribution across the school. The initiative recognised students who consistently demonstrated our school values through excellent behaviour, effort and commitment throughout the period from the 5th January to the 15th May. Students earned entries through achievement points and excellent attendance. The top 25% of students in each year group, based on achievement points, qualified for the draw, while students with 100% attendance also received an entry. The live prize draw was conducted as an exciting whole-school event, with all form tutors joining a Teams call to watch the winners being selected. Every qualifying student's name was entered onto a live name-picker wheel, creating plenty of anticipation and excitement as the prizes were announced. The prizes included a GT Avalanche Mountain Bike, a Nintendo Switch 2 and Amazon vouchers, generating huge enthusiasm amongst students. Congratulations to all students who qualified for the draw and demonstrated such high levels of commitment, resilience and ambition throughout the term. KS3 Winners 1st Prize – Jack W (Y9) 2nd Prize – Xander C (Y7) 3rd Prize – Azaan K (Y7) KS4 Winners 1st Prize – Dillan P (Y10) 2nd Prize – Rayan L (Y10) 3rd Prize – Tunde O (Y10) Congratulations to all of the winners.
