On the 1st July 2026, following a thorough process, including consultation with our community, we joined Hurst Education Trust.
The Hurst Education Trust (HET) is a Multi-Academy Trust set up by Hurstpierpoint College (known as Hurst College) in collaboration with the Diocese of Chichester. It exists to provide a unique offer to local schools in the Mid-Sussex area.
HET vision and values
Academic excellence is the foundation of a Hurst education because we believe it opens doors to the future. Therefore every child at Hurst College, and at a HET School, is challenged and supported along the way in our friendly and warm community.
We are ambitious for each of our pupils, and who they become, and we encourage each pupil 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.
Schools who are part of the Hurst Educational Trust receive a high qualirt education support package focused on the “Good to Outstanding” journey and access to Hurst College’s facilities, including sports and academic provisions together with specialist facilities including the theatre, farm and chapel.
Importantly, schools retain their individuality, including their name, uniform and curriculum.
