Welcome to The Hurlingham Academy

I hope this website will give you a sense of what makes us an Outstanding school (Ofsted 2024). I am incredibly proud to be the Principal at The Hurlingham Academy; a place where students thrive academically and socially in an atmosphere of mutual respect, tolerance and diversity.

Our academic approach is for every student in every lesson to enjoy learning. We strive to ensure that our teaching standards are high, and children feel safe and supported in school. Lessons follow a knowledge-rich and rigorous curriculum. This learning environment has produced our best GCSE results ever.

The Hurlingham Academy is a close-knit school community that learns together, has fun together and continues on a journey towards all-around excellence.

The best way to see what we can offer your child is to come and visit. We look forward to meeting you.

Leon Wilson
Principal

Last week's Hurlingham Academy Cultural Gala was the perfect way to end the term, celebrating the multicultural community that makes up our school. And boy did we celebrate! The evening began with a range of musical and dance performances followed by the fashion show: one by one, students took turns strutting along the stage in their national dress, beaming with pride. Even the teachers got involved– who knew Mr Wilson had moves like that!! To end the night, everyone moved through to the canteen to enjoy an incredible feast of multinational cuisine. Dishes ranged from onion bahjis to haggis, not forgetting Mr Rumbles’ Jamaican Mac & Cheese. Thank you to all parents and staff who contributed, it really was a fantastic celebration of #diversity. #educationwithcharacter #blackhistorymonth #blackhistory @unitedlearning_ @leon_wilson80

There's nothing like a bit of healthy inter-house competition at lunchtime to help to reenergise for the afternoon's lessons! #rowing #interhousecompetition

Ceramics and pottery making are now officially on the Hurlingham Academy Art Curriculum…Year 10 were the first to get their hands dirty last week! Year 9 digital lessons using photoshop on MACs in key skills will be starting halfway through a next term too. #arts #artinschools #ceramics #pottery #arteducation

These Year 8 History students took a step back in time with a reward visit to Hampton Court Palace earlier this week. This was an opportunity to witness the history they have been learning about in the class and gain a deeper understanding of the Tudor Religious Rollercoaster. The students were incredibly engaged and loved seeing their lessons come to life. #hamptoncourtpalace @historicroyalpalaces #history #hsitroystudents #rewardstrip

It is hard to believe that the half term holiday is already upon us. It has been a busy week here at The Hurlingham Academy, with our usual House competitions (build a mole being a particular highlight for me), African drumming and dancing workshops and the Cultural Gala.

Over the month of October here at The Hurlingham Academy we are very much looking outwards at the world around us, with the commencement of Black History Month.

This week I have been reflecting on the vital role our pupils play every day here at The Hurlingham Academy, and how ultimately the success of the academy is down to them. One team of pupils who have played a vital role over the first few weeks are our year 11 prefects.
