  • Few Prep Schools Offer a Setting Like Walhampton
    “Happy hearts and happy faces, happy play in grassy places, that was how, in ancient ages, children grew to kings and sages.” ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON WELCOME TO WALHAMPTON An independent day and boarding school for boys and girls aged 2-13, Walhampton lies in ancient woodland on the southern edge of the New Forest, on the coast near Lymington in Hampshire. A nurturing environment where children develop a genuine love of learning, our mission is to: Promote the importance of moral, spiritual and social values, inspired by the school’s Christian ethos. Be a genuinely dynamic school where teaching is exemplary and children develop both the discipline of study and the joy of learning. Develop each child’s unique academic, creative and sporting potential through a broad and balanced education. Be a distinctly happy school to which children and adults feel a deep loyalty; a place in which children can laugh, feel safe and enjoy being children. Inspire a love of nature and the outdoors. Be a school that is both forward thinking and outward looking, building strong links with parents and the local community, and celebrating cultures around the world. Develop strength of character so every child leaves us as a confident, capable, compassionate and independent minded young person. INSPIRED TEACHING & LEARNING A broad and balanced education founded on academic excellence: teaching the whole child. Our children achieve consistently impressive academic results, taking their learning to the next level as they prepare for the country’s leading secondary schools. It is especially encouraging when the quality of our teaching is recognised externally.
