The Hurst Education Trust (HET) is a newly-formed Multi-Academy Trust set up by Hurstpierpoint College in collaboration with the Diocese of Chichester. It exists to provide a unique offer to local schools in the Mid Sussex area.

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.

We are ambitious for each of our pupils and who they can become. Each child has the opportunity to access all the schools have to offer, together with additional facilities and resources at the College, and we encourage each one to engage and enjoy all aspects of school life.

We off our schools:

• A high quality education support package focused on the “Good to Outstanding” journey.

• A comprehensive administrative provision, including but not limited to: Human Resources, Payroll, Finance Support, Health & Safety advice, Data Protection Service and IT Support.

• Access to the College’s facilities, including sports and academic provision together with specialist facilities including the theatre, the farm and the chapel.

• A substantial CPD package for teaching and support staff.

Importantly, schools retain their individuality, including their name, uniform and curriculum. There is no ‘one size fits all’ approach.
