There is no such thing as a typical HawleyHurst student. We are a non-selective Independent School taking boys and girls from two to nineteen offering exceptional and diverse teaching to support children and make their time at school happy and productive. Children will have their curiosity stimulated and encouraged as they take every opportunity to learn and reach their intellectual potential. We aim to create an environment that stimulates them to flourish, stretch themselves and dream on the start of a life-long journey to success.
At HawleyHurst your child has the space and the time to explore, experiment and test themselves to reveal their unique talents. We want to create independent thinkers, who will go out into the world of work as responsible confident citizens, leaders and team players. We want our pupils to be able to make decisions and take the right risks so that they can help make the world a better place.
