Ampfield CofE Primary School

"Ampfield School is completely wonderful, I can't imagine a more supportive and nurturing school. The staff are truly amazing, going above and beyond at meeting the needs of each individual child. Ofsted will need a new word, because 'outstanding' doesn't begin to cover it."

"I have worked at Ampfield School for just over 5 months now, I can honestly say hand on heart it is the most welcoming, warm and nurturing school that I have ever been a part of. All the staff want only the best for the children and will give their everything to make this possible. Children enjoy being part of this school and it shows in their happy, excited faces daily, seeing how happy they all are prompted me to make the change and move my own children here too, and it was the best move I have ever made! For a 7 year old little boy that is very much an introvert and who cried on a daily basis every time he had to go to school, to now go with ease and a big smile upon his face is the most amazing feeling for us both. I could not recommend this school more!"

"Ampfield primary school is a small faith school in the tiny village of Ampfield. It has small classes of mixed years and welcomes out of catchment pupils. Ampfield is Funded by Hampshire County Council and Federated (teamed) with John Keble up the road in Hursley. We value being part of the Federation because it enables access to resources and skills sharing across two schools for the benefit of both schools. Since January 2020 we have seen really positive changes at Ampfield. These started with additional capacity and skills in the senior leadership team. This was followed by a re-organisation into the current class structure. In September 2020 our current excellent class teachers were appointed. I value the Ampfield team’s commitment to maintaining a welcoming, stimulating and safe environment in which all pupils are treated as individuals. As a parent and a governor I strongly recommend this school."

"I love this little school and I am so proud of how the team work together to best meet the needs of our children. Everyone knows each other so well in a small school and it is a lifeline for those children who find larger schools more of a challenge. Our families travel to us from far and wide to be part of our little Ampfield family."

"I have been at Ampfield for over a year now. It is a wonderful, small village primary school. I have been blown away by the caring and nurturing feel to the school, that is like one big family. A school that I am proud to be part of."
