Situated alongside Wandsworth Park in Putney, Hurlingham is a warm, ambitious and forward-thinking school for children aged 2–11. We believe that children flourish when they feel known, valued and supported, and our dedicated staff create a happy, secure and inclusive environment where curiosity, creativity, confidence and independence can thrive.

Our staff tell us that they feel proud to work at Hurlingham and part of a supportive professional community, with opportunities to make a genuine difference to the lives and learning of our pupils.
Our recent ISI inspection recognised the strength of education and care across the school, including a Significant Strength in Early Years, particularly in the emotional development of our youngest learners. Inspectors also highlighted pupils’ curiosity, independent thinking, motivation to learn and strong preparation for the next stage of their education.
At Hurlingham, we are ambitious for every child and every member of our community. We want our staff to feel valued, trusted and empowered to contribute, while working collaboratively in a school that is continually looking ahead and seeking to improve.
