Hereworth School is an independent school in New Zealand which caters for boarding and day pupils. It was established in 1927 by the amalgamation of Heretaunga School Hastings (New Zealand) and Hurworth School (Wanganui). Until 2023 the school only admitted male pupils; the school now also admits female day pupils.
The school is founded on five main "cornerstones", which are Academic, Cultural, Christian Dimension, Boarding Life and Sport. The school has its own chapel and chapel choir in which the whole school attends services four times a week.
It was founded in 1927 by H. E. Sturge, with the merger of Heretaunga School and Hurworth School.[2] Sturge was the headmaster until his death in 1935.[3]
Historyedit
The chapel at Hereworth School
Hereworth was started in 1927 and has since then become a school that ranges from year 0 to year 8. The schools that it was born from, Hurworth and Heretaunga, were also private schools. Many new facilities have been added to Hereworth School and in 2008 the grounds won the 'Best Garden' award. As of 2007, students and staff have been able to use the modern technology block.
In January 2023, the school admitted its first female day pupils. The headmaster noted that the intention was to open a boarding house for girls in the future.[4]
