Hurst Lodge is a small day and boarding school located in Ascot. We take girls aged between 2.5 and 18 and boys up to 11. Girls may be termly or weekly boarders from 5.5 to 18. Flexible boarding on an ad hoc basis is also provided.
Through caring traditional values, we provide a rounded education which maximises the potential of each individual and offer opportunities to combine an academic education with creative and performance arts including music, art, dance and drama. We encourage respect for others, confidence with courtesy, individuality through self expression and co-operation through team work. We have a well qualified teaching staff, small teaching groups allowing individual attention, a friendly and welcoming atmosphere and a modern curriculum.
The Junior School provides strong numeracy and language skills. Most Junior students will enter the Senior School at 11+ after a placement test. Students from other schools may enter the Senior School by interview and placement test. Children spend a day at Hurst Lodge in order to be assessed before a place is offered. Children from abroad may be accepted on the strength of their last school report. Scholarships and bursaries are available at 11+, 13+ and 16+ for academic, performance or artistic excellence.
This years GCSE results continued the trend of strong academic success. Our students gained on average 8.2 GCSE's at grades A-C. 64% of GCSE's passed were at grades A*, A or B. A wide range of subjects are available at A level according to individual student needs. This year we achieved considerable success at A level and look forward to future successes.
As a CReSTED School, we have a team of teachers trained in Spld, especially dyslexia. Where needed, pupils receive tuition on an individual basis in addition to attending mainstream classes.
The school is a member of ISIS and has been successfully reviewed by OFSTED as an environment in which pupils will flourish.
