Activities

After school activities are an integral part of life at Hurst and almost every child in the school participates in at least one activity. Choices range from cooking to Tai Chi and there really is something for everyone! Some clubs are offered by teachers and others are run by external specialists and incur a small charge.

Activities change termly, and just to give you an idea of the scope, here is a list of all the activities offered during the past year at the Prep School:
