Selection is based largely on the impressions formed at interview and on the reference provided by your school. In general we want to be sure that you have a clear idea of what you want to achieve, that you are hard-working, mature and ready to take full advantage of all the opportunities that Hurtwood House provides.
Obviously your academic record is important and we have high academic standards to maintain, but this is certainly not the only criterion for selection. Above all we need to feel that you are going to make a positive contribution to our community. Character, willingness, cheerfulness, creativity and enthusiasm are all qualities that we are looking for.
There are about 150 vacancies each year, 75 for boys and 75 for girls and there is strong competition for places.
