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 tough afternoon in the NK Cricket Competition for our Year 8 team against Bexley Grammar School. The boys showed great commitment, resilience and sportsmanship throughout, but it wasn't to be our day. Plenty of positives to take away and valuable experience gained. Well done to all involved for representing the school so well.
Year 10 Chemistry practical today. Applying classroom theory through hands-on investigation, developing key scientific skills and producing some excellent work in the lab. Great focus from the group throughout. #Chemistry #Science #Year10

Celebrating the Hurstmere Trading Club The First of Its Kind Across The Howard Academy Trust Yesterday we celebrated the incredible founding members of the Hurstmere Trading Club a group of remarkable young people who have shown enterprise, resilience and ambition far beyond their years. Since the start of the club in February, our students have collectively earned short of £10,000 through their own research and investments. That's real money, real decisions, and real results. A huge thank you to Marco Evans and Sam Priddy from LGT Private Banking for their continuous support, expertise and belief in the next generation of investors. You are the founding members of the Hurstmere Trading Club. Every single one of you should be incredibly proud of what you have achieved. Go out there, keep investing in yourselves, and remember Believe and Achieve."
