Hurstmere School is committed to ensuring colleagues achieve an effective work-life balance, in order that the pupils are served by motivated, inspirational teachers.  The provision of Continuing Professional Development opportunities is central to the school’s pledge to further develop teachers at every stage of their career.

Hurstmere School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.  Offers of employment are subject to a satisfactory enhanced DBS disclosure and other employment checks.
