Hurlingham School is an independent, non-selective co-educational preparatory school providing for up to 320 children aged 4-11 years. The current number on roll is 304. The school is situated in Putney, within the London Borough of Wandsworth in south-west London. It opened in 1947, moved to its current location in 2004 and was registered in 2005. The school aims to ‘… nurture self-confidence, self-discipline, self-motivation, selfesteem and above all a thirst and enjoyment for learning…(and to) continue to foster an intimate and welcoming environment centred on family values, with a strong focus on good manners and respect for one another.’ This is the school’s first Ofsted inspection although there was an inspection of the Early Years provision in the summer of 2007. A new headteacher was appointed in September 2007.
