My name is Mark Harris and I am the Head Teacher of Romsey Abbey Church of England Primary School. Whether you are a prospective parent or one of our existing parents, I would like to extend a warm and friendly welcome to you. We hope this web site will give you a hint of what our school is all about, but this can never replace first-hand experience.
Therefore we would encourage you to come and see us in action and speak to our staff and children yourself.
In the school’s own words, from the school website.
