The Hurlingham Academy
The Hurlingham Academy is located in Fulham, West London, ten minutes from Parsons Green tube station and within a stone’s throw of the River Thames. Ofsted recognised our mixed comprehensive school as ‘outstanding’ in 2024 and inspectors saw that ‘pupils behave exceptionally well and achieve highly.’ At GCSE, our students have made ‘well above average’ progress for the last six years.
These results are due to the unique culture that has developed at The Hurlingham Academy. The highest expectations and real academic rigour are combined with a focus on developing the whole child, and a culture in which every single child must be supported to achieve their full potential. 42% of students are pupil premium, so we are working to help some of the UK's most economically needy students achieve the best GCSEs possible.
We strive to ensure that our teaching standards are exceptionally high, and that children feel supported in school. Lessons follow a knowledge-rich and academically rigorous curriculum, and our teachers inspire their students to love each subject and enjoy learning.
Our staff body is a collaborative and diverse community that learns and has fun together. They feel empowered, supported and are provided with the highest-quality professional development.
