"Students enjoy being at Arnewood and feel very safe." (OFSTED 2008)

In This Section

Welcome to The Arnewood School, which has both a local and national reputation for high standards.

Our aims are to achieve and sustain excellence by:

  • Providing a diversity of teaching and learning styles in a positive environment
  • Celebrating and supporting all those who respect the values of The Arnewood School
  • Encouraging a sense of belonging to The Arnewood School and contributing to that identity in the local community

Our academic record over a long period of time shows us to be a high performing school, with impressive A Level, AS Level and vocational results, outstanding GCSE achievement and highly successful Key Stage 3 performance.

We continue to raise standards in all subject areas; we encourage diversity and innovation in teaching and learning across all subjects. We place great emphasis on a healthy balance between academic work and the all-round development of children, with a commitment to very good pastoral care and a wide variety of curricular opportunities to suit individual tastes and needs.

We recognise that words, pictures and statistics will only give you a hint of the warmth, ambition and commitment of a vibrant learning community and we invite you to see us in action. I am very confident that a visit to The Arnewood School will justify your interest in the school as we continue to develop as a centre of excellence in Hampshire and beyond.
