"A True Alternative to Mainstream Education"

My daughter attended New Forest Small School from age 3 to 11. I was blown away by the sense of community and the individualised approach to learning. The school's commitment to valuing diversity and individuality is something that I truly admire. I would wholeheartedly recommend this school to any parent looking for an alternative to mainstream education.

"A School that Truly Cares"

We've had our child at New Forest Small School for 3 years now and we've been consistently impressed by the level of care and attention she's received. The school's commitment to pastoral care is something that really stands out and we've seen a huge improvement in her confidence and well-being since joining. The facilities are also fantastic, especially the outdoor space for nature study and play.

"A Mixed Experience"

We've been at New Forest Small School for 5 years now and while we've had some great experiences, we've also had some issues. The school's approach to learning can be a bit unstructured at times and it's taken us a while to get used to it. That being said, the teachers are all very supportive and my child has thrived in the kind and nurturing environment. The school's commitment to environmental education is also something we appreciate.
