What People are Saying

“Purley has given me the opportunity to shine.”

Deja, Head Girl

“I am from the Caribbean, where education and discipline are always highly valued. When I moved to the UK, I looked for a school with strong expectations, clear structure, and a genuine commitment to students achieving their best, and HAPU immediately stood out.”

Mr Johnson, Head of Mathematics
