Foundation Day – A New Tradition Begins

We are delighted to invite you to the inaugural Hurst Foundation Day. It will be a celebration that marks the beginning of a new annual 'tradition' for the entire Hurst community. Inspired by the spirit of past gatherings, Foundation Day is a chance to reconnect, reminisce, and rediscover the heart of Hurst.

Whether you're an Old Hurst Johnian, a current or former staff member, a past or present parent, or a friend of the College, this is your opportunity to return to Hurst, bring your family, and experience the best of what makes our community so special.

As with all our events, we will be taking photos at this Foundation event. These images will be used by Hurstpierpoint College to share news about the Foundation, and to publicise our future events. Images may be used in press releases, social media, printed publicity, and published on the College’s website. They will be stored securely, and we will delete them after they are no longer needed for publicity purposes. We may also share photos with other OJs for their personal use. If you would prefer for you or your child not to be photographed, please email us at hurstfoundation@hppc.co.uk
