School Profile
Founded in 1942, it remains a family owned and operated school. Housed in a large Victorian house, with additional buildings, it is set in grounds of 22 acres. The school offers a broad academic curriculum, where most subjects are taught - all in small groups - with a strong emphasis on the creative and performing arts, particularly dance. There are three performing arts studios and links with two local professional theatres. Pupils are encouraged to explore all aspects of theatre as technical crew and designers as well as performers. All pupils are taught dance as part of the curriculum until Year 10, including ballet, modern, jazz, tap and musical theatre. There are also classes throughout the school in singing, composition and musical appreciation. Recent exam results have been excellent aided by a small sixth form having a superb teacher/child ratio. Hurst Lodge offers A-level examinations in many subjects, National Diplomas and Btec in several other areas. While mainstream curriculum classes take place during the week, some classes (mostly optional) are held in the evening and rehearsals and practices may be at weekends. The school aims to provide a warm and friendly family atmosphere and to encourage independent learners. It is non-denominational. An enhanced academic curriculum up to Year 9 ensures a broad education. There is some sporting success, particularly in netball, riding and synchro-swimming.
