- An “almost tangible” sense of community – which features the entire school gathering at the start and end of the week – is what sets Hurst apart, according to the head of college, Dominic Mott.
- The co-ed day and boarding school, for pupils aged 4-18, prizes a sense of respect, duty and awareness of right and wrong along with rigorous academic ambition.
- Learning takes place in rooms, studios, labs, lecture theatres and IT suites designed around a quad, and at the heart of the college is the 1850s chapel, whose spire can be seen from miles around.
- Facilities include an onsite farm with sheep, goats, pigs and chickens. The huge range of indoor and outdoor sports amenities, including a full-sized indoor hockey pitch, have honed many a professional sporting career. A high number of rugby players and cricketers are among the ranks of alumni, known as Old Johnians or OJs.
