Hurworth is a forward-looking school and grasps the opportunities that present themselves. A love of learning is at the heart of Hurworth with a strong emphasis on high quality teaching. The curriculum is organised to meet the needs of all students and is regularly reviewed.

Students are bright, enthusiastic and curious and have a love of learning.

As well as the formal curriculum, students at Hurworth enjoy a rich and varied extra-curricular educational offer.

Underpinning all that goes on at Hurworth is the schools aim of Achieving Excellence with Care, as such there are excellent relationships between staff and students. Staff give generously of their time and are rewarded by the commitment and dedication of the pupil.

I believe that the students, staff and parents/carers deserve nothing less than this commitment from me and the staff at the school.

Students only get one chance at a formal education and it our responsibility to make sure that this is best experience that it possibly can be. In order to do this, we must instill the joy of lifelong learning whilst ensuring that they have all of the necessary skills, knowledge, personal qualities and academic qualifications that they need to enable them to achieve their post-16 dreams, hopes and ambitions.
