Welcome to the Hurst Primary School website. We hope that it gives you an insight into life at our school and provides you with the information you need. Hurst Primary School has a history of excellence and has continued to thrive and prosper since it became an academy in 2013.
Our school is a welcoming place, where we understand that success and happiness depend on everyone working together. In this way, we ensure we are able to meet the needs of all our pupils so that they achieve their full potential in their academic, creative, personal, physical, moral and spiritual development.
We know how vital working in partnerships with parents really is in order for children to find school a positive and rewarding experience and we strongly believe achievement and enjoyment go hand in hand to ensure each child's excellent progress. Our set of core values underpins all the work we do.
They help to deepen children's positive attitudes and together with our wide range of curriculum opportunities, sporting, musical and artistic activities, they support the development of well-rounded individuals. We are very proud of the children who attend Hurst and of all their achievements!
