About

iWritten by WhatSchool from official school data (Get Information about Schools, DfE and Ofsted).

I am delighted to welcome you to the website of the Fordingbridge Infant and Junior Schools Federation. Our schools are found on the edge of the New Forest - an enviable and exciting environment within which to come and learn.

At our Federation children thrive in the best of both worlds: two schools, each with their own qualities tailored to the age of the children, but one educational journey, from Years R to 6, where every child is treated as an individual, according to their needs.

The Federation is able to offer the nurturing first school years of an infant environment, smoothly transitioning into their secondary school preparation at Junior School, while simultaneously enjoying the benefits of being the best funded primary offering in the area.

This means the schools share unrivalled resources and facilities, including: We are committed to the development of the whole child, encouraging them to become confident individuals who believe in their ability and work hard to realise their dreams and aspirations. We always put children first; this aim is at the heart of our vision.
