Significant events

• “The 2024-25 academic year once again demonstrated the College's strength as a centre of academic excellence; outcomes in public examinations were of the highest order, and the College continues to rank amongst the top independent schools nationally for value added.”
• “A surplus of £4.8M was realised in the year under review compared to prior of £2.8M.”
• “Net fee income for the year was £35.9M, which represents an increase of 7.4% on the previous year. Fee increases for the year were 4% and during the year under review pupil numbers increased by 1.4% across the board.”
• “Fee concessions reduced to £3.2M from £3.3M resulting from further streamlining of bursaries and scholarship (which nevertheless represented a further decrease from 9.0% to 8.3% of gross fees).”
• “Over the year expenditure on improvements to College facilities totalled £7.9M including: £6.8M Swimming Pool project Phase 1, £285k Martlet House Washrooms Refurbishment, £185k Music School Refurbishment, £175k Swimming Pool Project Phase 2, £125k Kitchen Equipment Replacement.”
• “One scholarship was withdrawn during the year due to disciplinary reasons.”
• “In September 2025, the College implemented a full review of its scholarships and bursaries. All new awards are now means-tested, ensuring that funding is focused on enabling children from less affluent backgrounds to access a Hurst education.”
• “The College recognise that per-pupil emissions have marginally increased in the year. The College have engaged an external contractor to conduct a full review of the College's carbon emissions to make further recommendations, augmenting the existing measures, to ensure a substantial reduction in future years.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
