About

Hurstpierpoint College (known as Hurst) is a thriving co-educational day and boarding school for pupils from 4 to 18 years of age. The Hurst campus comprises a Junior Prep School (ages 4 to 11), Senior Prep School (ages 11 to 13), Senior School (ages 13 to 16) and Sixth Form (ages 16 to 18). We offer places to day pupils and boarders.

Our flexi and weekly boarding options are popular with pupils from the local area as well as further afield. The College is ideally situated in the Sussex countryside, between Haywards Heath and Brighton, and is within easy reach of London by train.

We offer extensive transport services across Sussex, Surrey and Kent, including a minibus service and a chaperoned weekly return train service from Clapham Junction. Academic excellence is the foundation of a Hurst education because we believe it opens doors to the future.

Therefore every child is challenged and supported in our warm and friendly community, throughout their academic journey.
