Welcome
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.
Curriculum
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.
Extra Curricular
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.
Ethos and Values
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.

A Strong Year for Hurstmere as GCSE Results Improve Again!
There was plenty to smile about at Hurstmere School this morning as our Year 11 students opened their GCSE results and began making plans for the next stage of their education.
Behind each envelope was a different story: subjects mastered, setbacks overcome, revision sessions attended and, for many, results that opened the door to their chosen sixth form, college or apprenticeship.
Hurstmere School continues its upward trajectory, providing a clear and exciting indication of the impact of our school improvement journey and the progress being made across the school.
Mrs Bennett, Principal, said:
“Results day is one of those moments when you see what all the lessons, conversations, revision sessions and encouragement have been building towards. I am delighted for our students.
As a school, we are pleased to see our overall progress continuing to move forward and some particularly strong performances across the curriculum. Our thanks go to the staff who have invested so much in this year group, to the families who have supported them along the way and, above all, to our boys themselves. We wish every one of them all the very best for what comes next.”
