Posted on: 6/03/2019Year 8's Represent Bexley at LordsHurstmere's Ellis Daly and Stanley Flockton, year 8s, represented Bexley at the London Youth Games Cricket Finals at Lord’s on Sunday. They were a credit to the borough: Their team had already won a qualifying event to get to the finals, making them only 1 of 8 London boroughs to qualify for the finals. The team then beat Greenwich in the quarter-final and Richmond in the semi-final. They lost to a very strong Hillingdon team in the final to finish 2nd overall, gaining Silver medals. A great effort Ellis and Stanley. Well done.
Posted on: 21/01/2019Lights! Cameras! Christmas!Lights! Cameras! Christmas! For the first time in many years Hurstmere opened its doors on Thursday 20th December to host a Christmas Concert. As is tradition with our concerts, the pupils showcased their incredible musical talents and there was a very wide variety of acts. The whole school came together with performers from Years 7 to 11 and included a Year 7 Music Class, instrumental solo and group arrangements, Studio Fix bands presenting their own compositions and a GCSE arrangement by multi-talented Year 11s. The finale comprised of a Staff Band performance followed by the Harmony Army choir. A wonderfully festive event enjoyed by staff, Governors, pupils and parents. Thank you to all who attended and well done to all our very talented performers. The Hurstmere restaurant, Cucina, kindly donated a range of festive cakes that were sold during the interval, with all donations going to Shelter UK. A grand total of £296.43 was raised.
Posted on: 14/11/2018“Streetwise”- Year 7 Pedestrian SafetyOn Thursday 8th November our Year 7 pupils observed an engaging theatre presentation that focused on the potential consequences of lapses in concentration and risk-taking behaviour around roads (such as using phones and listening to music, as well as 'messing about' with friends). As Head of Year, I would agree that the presentation was “Very useful indeed, covering many pertinent topics. Excellent interactive delivery, engaging the students.” Well done to the Year 7s who contributed superbly and were role models for our school to this presentation which was taken by an outside theatre company. The feedback from the performers was incredibly positive.
