We are a small and friendly school on the outskirts of Southampton, in the Test Valley region of Hampshire. As a Church of England school we have strong links to our local churches St Boniface & St Johns. Our three strong Christian values of Love, Hope and Courage help us to achieve our potential and behave well in school.
We love everything about our school, we are fortunate to have fantastic grounds with both a pond and allotment area which help us to bring learning to life! Being a small school gives us a real sense of family too where the children are given the opportunity to encourage each other, work alongside one another and support each other in all that they do.
