CURRICULUM

Sport is an integral part of school life at Hurlingham, both within the curriculum and as part of our extensive extra-curricular programme. Boys and girls are encouraged to perform to the best of their ability in an enjoyable atmosphere using innovative and dynamic teaching.  

The main sports are football, rugby and cricket for boys and netball, hockey and rounders for girls. All children also enjoy a gymnastics, dance and athletics programme throughout the year. Addtionally, our extra-curricular programme during the school week, weekends and holidays allows pupils to access many other sports and activities including golf, tennis, karate, ballet, rock-climbing, skiing and fencing. All sports and activities are taught by specialised sports coaching staff.  

Pupils in Form IV and above also have the opportunity to enjoy the thrills, challenges and adventures of the multi-activity residential courses that we offer throughout the UK and France.   

At Hurlingham we firmly believe in inclusion. All pupils in the upper school have the opportunity to represent Hurlingham in matches against other schools and our teams enter numerous regional competitions with success. Recent sporting triumphs include tournament wins in football, rugby and hockey. Within the school, there are also many House competitions in all major sports.  

We believe that it is our job to inspire children and help them discover a love and passion for exercise, whether in sport, dance or an alternative activity. We want to help them leave Hurlingham with confidence in their physical skills and capabilities so that they pursue an active lifestyle and sporting challenges throughout their future education and adult lives.
