Welcome to Hordle CE Primary School and Nursery on the outskirts of the New Forest, Hampshire. Our vision, which is threaded throughout all aspects of school life, is to live life in all its fullness John 10:10. We recognise that a child's journey through primary school has the opportunity to shape a future.
We aspire for every child to feel nurtured, cared for and valued so that they may become aspirational learners with enquiring minds and deeply held values, ready to take on their responsibilities as global citizens.
Most importantly, we strive to ensure that throughout their learning journey, children are given the richest of experiences in order to create happy memories that will last a lifetime.
