WELCOME

Welcome to Hurlingham School’s website which I hope you will find interesting and informative.

Hurlingham is a non-selective independent preparatory school based in Putney. We provide a balanced and rounded education in which every child is treated as an individual. Within our purpose built and spacious building, we are able to provide excellent facilities including a large gym, ballet and drama studio. Specialist science, art, ICT and music rooms allow us to deliver a varied and exciting curriculum. Our close proximity to Wandsworth Park provides us with facilities for football, tag rugby, hockey, netball, rounders, cricket and athletics as well as additional recreational space.

The School’s ethos is to provide a happy, secure atmosphere in which children can maximise their potential. Our experienced, dedicated and enthusiastic staff provide opportunities for the children which strongly promote creativity and independence of thought; we feel these are essential attributes for a child growing up in the 21st Century. We nurture self-confidence, self-discipline, self-motivation, self-esteem and above all a thirst and enjoyment for learning. We continue to foster an intimate and welcoming environment centred on family values, with a strong focus on good manners and respect for one another. We aim to:

develop a desire for learning in all children within a happy and nurturing atmosphere
provide a consistently high level of differentiated teaching to ensure that children of all abilities maximise their potential
provide a broad curriculum and a strong extra-curricular programme which develops the children’s confidence and independence and ensures that they are well equipped for life after Hurlingham School
provide a safe and healthy environment where children flourish
develop an ongoing partnership between parents and Hurlingham School as a whole
foster a team spirit among the staff where all teachers' input is valued and where clear leadership guides Hurlingham School’s development

We look forward to meeting you when you come to visit…
