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.
Founding
It was founded in 1927 by H. E. Sturge, with the merger of Heretaunga School and Hurworth School.[1] Sturge was the headmaster until his death in 1935.[2]
History
