We hope you will find our website useful and informative and that it will inspire you to visit our school and meet our dedicated teachers and fantastic children. We are a two form, forward thinking and dynanic Infant school situated on the dege of the New Forest and by the sea. We firmly believe that a happy child is a strong learner!
Our principal aim at Lymington Infants is to provide a caring and stimulating environment where the children acquire the skills, knowledge and understanding to become active learners for life. Our curriculum is engaging, active, fun and focused on developing the core skills children need to go onto the next stage of their learning.
We are also real advocates of outdoor learning and have invested in our extensive grounds to ensure learning outdoors is creative, challenging and adventurous. We encourage children to develop a growth mindset. Life is a series of challenges and opportunities and we teach the children to take risks, perservere and learn from their mistakes.
