What a wonderful weekend. We love when an OJ returns to Hurst - and last weekend was extra special as one of our own came back to celebrate her wedding day at the College. A beautiful occasion made even more memorable by the fact that fellow OJ Lizzie (Martlet, 2013) was behind the catering. The Hurst family never strays too far! Wishing the happy couple every happiness.

Do you have news to share? We'd love to hear about engagements, weddings, new arrivals, career milestones, new business ventures - whatever life has brought your way. Get in touch at [email protected].

Thirty years ago, the first girls called Martlet home. As we count down to the Martlet Girls House 30th Anniversary Garden Party on Sunday 7th June, we've been looking back through the archives. So much history, so many friendships - and plenty more memories to make on the day. Spaces are still available, so do register via the link in bio. We hope to see you there!

Huge congratulations to OJ Georgie Corbett-Clark (Martlet, 2025)! 🎤🌟

Georgie has just returned from New York where she competed at the ICCA Finals with Durham University's a ca****la group, Northern Lights — finishing 2nd in the world and picking up awards for outstanding choreography and outstanding arrangement of Skyfall. We couldn't be prouder!

Last week, Mr and Mrs Higgins travelled up to Loughborough for our latest Hurst@Uni event — and what a wonderful evening it was. It was so special to see our OJs reconnecting, sharing stories, and catching up on each other's journeys.

Thank you to everyone who came along and made it such a memorable night. Watch this space for our next Hurst@Uni event!

Last month, the trailblazing Class of 1997 came home. 💙

It was an evening full of everything that makes this community so special — speeches, laughter, and more than a few tears. Dominic Rodbourne's parting wish said it all: that next time, we don't leave it another twenty-nine years.

The evening also marked the launch of the Trailblazer Bursary — a chance for the Class of 1997 to give a future pupil the same experience that shaped them.

Thank you to everyone who came back and made it so memorable. You started something special in 1997 — and that spirit is very much alive.

Last week our New York OJ’s proved that no matter how far you fly from Hurst, some things never change. 🗽

It was a wonderful evening - full of familiar faces, shared stories, and the kind of conversation that only happens when you’re back in a room with people who just *get it*. The traditions, the memories - all of it.

A huge thank you to OJs Rob Ford and Steve Wilson for making the evening possible, and to everyone who came along and made it so special.

The evening was the formal launch of the Hurst Worldwide US Chapter - about which we will share more details in due course!

This is exactly what Hurst Worldwide is all about.

Watch this space for more events coming to a city near you.

200 friends of Hurst came together on Saturday to celebrate 100 years of rugby — and the Hurst Sports Dinner delivered everything we hoped for and more!
Old friends reunited. New friendships forged. A room full of people who love this school, this sport, and everything it stands for.
The food was delicious. The atmosphere was electric. And the generosity of everyone was simply extraordinary — we raised a huge amount for the Rob Kift Sports Bursary, with the final figure to follow very soon.
The Kift Club is launched. The bursary fund is growing. And the next hundred years of Hurst rugby just got a little bit brighter for a young person who doesn't yet know it.
Thank you to every single person who was part of Saturday night. You made it. More photos will follow on the Foundation website!
Floreat Hurst!
