Walhampton: A 'thinking school'
W
alhampton, an independent
day and boarding school
for boys and girls aged two
to 13, lies in ancient woodland on the
southern edge of the New Forest. With
big vistas and broad horizons set within
one hundred acres of lawns, lakes and
woodland, the school’s location is truly
remarkable.
Walhampton is a ‘thinking school’.
The teaching of thinking is at the
heart of learning, allowing each child
to extend their learning in creative
ways. The School offers the children
extensive opportunities to develop both
academically and creatively, while taking
them beyond just being able to pass
Common Entrance.
Pupils achieve consistently impressive
academic results, taking their learning
to the next level as they prepare for the
country’s leading senior schools. With
small classes and outstanding teaching
they prepare our boys and girls for 13+
Common Entrance and scholarships to
senior independent schools. Academic
standards at Walhampton are excellent
and were strongly endorsed in their
recent ISI report.
As well as rigorous academic standards,
Walhampton offers over 60 on-site extracurricular activities. For children travelling
from the Isle of Wight, parents can
always have peace of mind. Walhampton
provides day and boarding children with
a professional and accompanied Isle
of Wight ferry transfer service to and
from Yarmouth and Lymington. Open
Mornings are on January 30 and May 8,
2015 from 10 to 12.30. Please contact
