We regard co-curricular activities at Hurst as being key to the all-round education of every individual pupil. Through such activities it is our intention that pupils will not only acquire certain skills and develop a range of qualities but will also be introduced to a pastime or hobby which they can enjoy throughout their lives.
Hurst offers a wide range of activities for all students during the school day. Our activities programme is designed to encourage students to try new skills, move beyond their comfort zone, and gain experience in a safe and supportive environment.
Whether such activities are more physical in nature, service-oriented or cerebral, we believe that students in Years 9 and 10 should participate on a compulsory basis, whilst those who are older should have a free choice. However, it is hoped that every student will pursue at least one significant activity throughout their time at Hurst.
