What the school offers its staff

About The Hurlingham Academy:

The Hurlingham Academy is a very special community. Ofsted officially recognised our mixed comprehensive school as ‘outstanding’ in March 2024 and inspectors saw that ‘pupils behave exceptionally well and achieve highly.’ Our GCSE results consistently place us in the top 5 United Learning academies and our students have made ‘well above average’ progress for the last six years. This year, a tremendous 85% of students achieved a grade 4 or above in English and maths, with 75% achieving grade 5 or above in the two subjects. At the higher levels, 41% of all students achieved a grade 7 or above in English and maths.

These tremendous results are due to the unique culture that has developed at The Hurlingham Academy. The highest expectations of students and real academic rigour are combined with a strong focus on developing the whole child and embedding a culture in which every single child matters and must be supported to achieve their full potential. 42% of our students are pupil premium (nearly twice the national average) and so we are working to help some of the UK's most economically needy students achieve the best GCSE results possible.

At The Hurlingham Academy, we strive to ensure that our teaching standards are exceptionally high, and that children feel safe and supported in school. Lessons follow a knowledge-rich and academically rigorous curriculum, and we place a significant emphasis on teachers inspiring their students to love each subject and enjoy their learning.
