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.
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.
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.
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.

We are proposing a very exciting chance for pupils who are currently in Year 10 to visit Iceland during the first week o...
A great way to end the day for Year 11, unwinding at the Krauma Geothermal Baths. After a busy day of exploring, the boys had the chance to relax in the naturally heated pools before heading off for dinner.
Another full day for Year 11 in Iceland. We explored the coastal villages of Arnarstapi and Hellnar, taking in the dramatic basalt cliffs and sea stacks along the shoreline. We then headed into Snæfellsjökull National Park, dominated by its famous stratovolcano, before stopping at Kirkjufell – one of Iceland's most recognisable landscapes. We're now on our way to the nature baths to round things off.
Year 11 made the most of their first day in Iceland. After landing in the morning, we headed straight out to explore the Grábrók Crater, before going underground for lava caving at Víðgelmir Cave. We finished the day at the waterfalls of Hraunfossar and Barnafoss. A busy start, but a great way to kick off the trip.
Iceland 26' after a minor setback we have finally arrived in Iceland.
