About Hurst Park Primary Academy
Hurst Park Primary Academy sits within Surrey local authority, a county with 298 primary schools, and ranks 57th among them. In the more immediate Elmbridge area, it places 12th out of 21 primaries, putting it just above the middle of the pack locally. For context, the top-performing peers in Surrey include South Farnham School, The Raleigh School, and Cardinal Newman Catholic Primary School, all of which score higher on the same ranking metric. Hurst Park’s own ranking score of 72 places it in the top 50 nationally by its key stage 2 expected standard measure, though it sits at the 57th percentile within its own local authority. The school is a mixed, state-funded primary for ages 3 to 11, with a nursery provision and no religious character. It is led by headteacher Louise Thorndycraft and currently has 448 pupils on roll, just shy of its 460 capacity.
