Welcome to the Junior Prep School
Welcome to our Junior Prep School at Hurst.
It is a real pleasure to welcome you to our vibrant and nurturing community. The Junior Prep School is home to children aged four to eleven, from Reception through to Year 6, before they continue their journey at Hurst in the Senior Prep School for Years 7 and 8.
The Junior Prep is a very special place within Hurst where childhood is valued and celebrated. Here, children are encouraged to be curious in their thinking, courageous in their learning and kind in their actions. At the heart of everything we do is The Hurst Way, our unique guiding philosophy that shapes the culture here at Hurst.
Our ethos of Work Hard, Do Good and Engage underpins daily life in the Junior Prep. It encourages children to take pride in their learning, show care and respect for others, and embrace the many rich opportunities that Hurst offers. We believe that every child brings something unique to our community, and we are committed to helping each child discover their strengths, grow in confidence and develop a genuine love of learning.
Nurturing young minds is both a privilege and a responsibility we take seriously. We strive to create a warm, supportive environment where every child feels known, valued and encouraged to thrive. Through inspiring teaching, rich opportunities and strong pastoral love and care, our children develop independence, curiosity and the resilience they need for the next stage of their journey at Hurst and beyond.
We very much look forward to working in partnership with you and sharing the many exciting moments that lie ahead.
Please do come and visit the Junior Prep School, I would be delighted to welcome you and show you around our wonderful campus.

Head of Hurst Junior Prep School
