Learning at Hurst
Academic life is the core of a Hurst education. We encourage our pupils to be ambitious and independent in their learning at Hurst. Regular Challenge Grade reviews and coaching by teachers and tutors enable our pupils to realise their academic potential.
Regular and timely communication between home and school allows achievements to be celebrated and strategies for learning developed. We know that this close partnership between school, parents and pupils is vital to success.
Progressively throughout the years, as pupils develop and mature, they assume a greater responsibility for their own learning and take the initiative in pushing back the boundaries of their achievements and ambitions.
At whatever stage a pupil joins, we seek to ensure that they learn how to learn as well as develop a love of learning. As a result, they are very well equipped to meet the challenges when they graduate to the Sixth Form.
Timetables
The College operates a two week timetable which allows us to maximise the use of academic time, structure more time for sport and Co-Curricular activities (especially for the younger age groups), and create a better rhythm to the working week.
Academic lessons take place in the first four to six hours of the day whilst sport and activities take place in the afternoons.
You can view the current ‘Structure of the Week’ timetable for the Senior School on the Term Dates and Timings of the School Day page.
