House of Commons reception to celebrate 30 years of co-education at Hurst

This year marks a transformational milestone in Hurst’s history - it will be 30 years since girls first joined the College, paving the way for the fully co-educational community we are now. 

To celebrate this incredible journey and the instrumental role co-education has played in Hurst’s success, we invite all alumni, past and present staff, and parents to join us for a special evening on the terrace of the House of Commons for a networking and celebration event.

We are grateful to Mims Davies MP for her support in facilitating this occasion, alongside our web partners ToucanTech, whose platform helps us connect and engage with our community.

This event is made extra special as it takes place during International Women’s Day week – a perfect time to honour the trailblazing women who helped shape Hurst’s history and continue to inspire future generations.

Event Highlights

This event is designed to celebrate female trailblazers and strengthen the connections that make our Hurst community so extraordinary. In addition to celebrating coeducation at Hurst, this will be:

- A rare opportunity to gather on the Terrace Pavilion at the House of Commons

- An opportunity to network with OJs and industry leaders

- A chance to listen to inspiring guest speakers - including leading female politicians - and reflections on the remarkable careers and businesses led by Hurst Girls.
