DRIVEN BY A PASSION FOR CREATIVITY AND ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE Hurtwood combines the best elements of the traditional boarding school system with the best elements of the modern sixth form college to create a wholly unique and individual establishment. While breaking new ground educationally, it has retained traditional values and has created an inspirational but safe stepping-stone between school and university.
Over 50 years ago, with the spark of an idea, Richard Jackson boldly started a school with just a handful of students. Today Hurtwood House is home to 360 students and its alumni include Hollywood Royalty, award winning filmmakers, world famous musicians and top business entrepreneurs. Each week in ‘Beyond the Hill’ ex-student and presenter James Gaffney interviews one of the many thousands who have been through Hurtwood’s doors, reminiscing about the good times at the school and lifting the lid on their journeys and the secrets of their success.
