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.
