Hurstpierpoint College is a thriving co-educational day and boarding school for pupils from 4 to 18 years of age. We offer places today pupils and boarders. Our flexible and weekly boarding options are popular with pupils from the local area as well as further afield.
The College is ideally situated in the Sussex countryside between Haywards Heath and Brighton and is within easy reach of London by train. We offer extensive transport services across Sussex, Surrey, and Kent, including a chaperoned weekly return train service from Clapham Junction.
Academic excellence is the foundation of a Hurst education because we believe it opens doors to the future. Therefore every child is challenged and supported along the way in our friendly and warm community. At Hurst, we are ambitious for each of our pupils and who they can become. Each child has the opportunity to access all the college has to offer and we encourage each one to engage and enjoy all aspects of school life.
We want our pupils to learn the importance of certain values: a sense of duty, an awareness of right and wrong, and a respect for others. We want pupils to be ambitious with a clear sense of purpose, to acquire a balanced view of life, and develop into independent, mature individuals. We believe that each pupil must be given every opportunity to achieve their personal best to progress to the university of their choice or make a successful move into their chosen profession.
Hurstpierpoint College was founded by Nathaniel Woodard in August 1849 and is part of the Woodard Corporation. St John’s Middle Grammar School, as it was named at the time, was based in a cottage in Star Lane, Shoreham with just two boys as pupils. As the school grew it was transferred to The Mansion House in Hurstpierpoint Village, West Sussex in 1850. Hurst is a thriving, co-educational day and boarding school for pupils age 4-18 situated in the West Sussex countryside.
