About the School
The school, which opened in 1966, is situated in open countryside between the villages of Kimpton, Thruxton and Fyfield. The boys and girls aged between 4 and 11 years, come from these three villages and from Andover and other villages outside of the school’s catchment area. It is part of the Diocese of Winchester and is maintained by Hampshire Education Authority.
Our children are able to enjoy the extensive school grounds, including a creative play area for the youngest pupils, a tarmac playground, a terrace with seating and soft planting, a swimming pool and a play trail designed to suit all ages. In addition we have some ancient woodlands which are being developed as a valuable teaching resource. The story telling circle and natural seating is used at every opportunity and adds an extra dimension to the curriculum. All of this looks out over spectacular views and offers peace and tranquillity.
Our building has undergone several modifications and improvements and provides large, bright teaching areas. We have a well-stocked library next to our new ICT suite where all the computers are networked. Interactive whiteboards offer additional resources for most classes.
The admission number of the school is 25 and Hampshire’s policy is to admit children in the academic year they are five. We admit all of the children on a part time basis in the first instance, moving to full time schooling as and when the school believes the children are ready. This will be decided in full consultation with the parent.
We are a very popular school and admission is strictly in accordance with our policy.
