Hordle

Our annual Grandparents’ Lunch was a great success and much enjoyed by our guests, the children who served (with enormous care and skill) and the staff who attended.

Held in recognition and gratitude for the vital and supporting role that so many grandparents give to our pupils, the lunch, which began with drinks in the Front Courtyard, was a splendid affair… the happy buzz of conversation only slightly interrupted by one of the Headmaster’s jokes.

Alison Shepherd, together with her team from our catering department, masterminded and produced a delicious menu – a choice of salmon or beef followed by Eton Mess or apple crumble.

It was a delight to renew old friendships as well as making many new ones, though ever sad to say ‘goodbye’ to those whose grandchildren move on to their senior schools later this year. 

Our next Open Morning is on Tuesday, 5th May from 10.00 until 12.30pm and we very much look forward to welcoming you to Hordle Walhampton.

This is a normal school day so you will have the opportunity to see us at work in the classrooms and taking part in a wide variety of activities and sports.

The pupils from Year Eight will be your guides as you visit the Prep School, the Pre-Prep department, the sports facilities, grounds and boarding houses.

In addition, you will have plenty of opportunities to meet and talk to the staff before joining our headmaster, Mr Henry Phillips, for a welcome cup of coffee in the Garden Room.

Our aim is to make this a relaxed, enjoyable and informative visit. We are proud of our school and look forward to meeting you.
