The College comprises a Sixth Form, Senior School, Senior Prep and Junior Prep with 1,300 pupils in all. Over half the pupils in the Senior School are boarders (weekly or flexi). Hurst is a significant medium-sized enterprise in Mid Sussex with around 480 employees and an annual turnover of £35 million pa.
What particularly strikes visitors to the College is the vibrant dynamic of our community. Situated within a 140- acre campus, surrounded by beautiful countryside, Hurst lies on the border of the South Downs National Park, close to the village of Hurstpierpoint in West Sussex.
This superb location is also just 20 minutes from the city and beaches of Brighton and Hove, whilst London train stations can be reached from Hassocks or Haywards Heath in under an hour. The central campus is thoughtfully laid out and planned with zones for the Academic, Co-Curricular and Pastoral areas of school life. These all lie at the centre of a superbly equipped broader campus.
Hurst has an excellent academic track record and the vast majority of pupils go on to Russell Group universities including Oxford, Cambridge, the various London Universities, as well as large numbers to Exeter, Bristol and Durham.
Founded in 1849 by Nathanial Woodard, Hurst is a Church of England College. The Christian ethos underpins College life but we are a diverse community; we welcome those of other faiths, or no faith, and pursue an inclusive approach in all that we do.
The College is a Co-Sponsor, together with the Diocese of Chichester, of the newly formed Hurst Education Trust, a local Multi Academy Trust. The Trust currently has four local primary schools, although it is envisaged it will grow to over time.
