Michèle Finnegan

Head of Hurstpierpoint College Pre-Prep School

Welcome to the Hurst Pre-Prep School web pages. Here you will see that the well-being of the children lies at the heart of everything we do.

In summary, we:

• aim to provide a stimulating, safe and happy environment in which the young children in our care will flourish.
• nurture, encourage, praise and reward excellent manners and good behaviour.
• see each child as a very special individual and so we identify and encourage their greatest strengths whilst being aware of and supporting areas of difficulty.
• have high quality resources and access to the outstanding facilities on campus.
• have space to run and play in a safe environment.
• have high expectations of our pupils and we aim to produce happy, self-confident, articulate, literate and numerate children who are interested in the world around them, but we never lose sight of their age and their right for a happy and fulfilling childhood.

Please come and visit the school; I will be delighted to meet you, talk about your child and share with you what the school can offer.

Hurst - a viewpoint:

"We are extremely happy with our daughter's progress... she and we regard Hurst as a safe secure and happy environment. The thing I am particularly impressed by is the 'family atmosphere' of the Pre-Prep and the respect and kindness the children show to each other and to adults."
