Welcome
Welcome to our Village School with a Global Outlook
"A very warm welcome to Appleshaw St Peter’s. As part of the Skylark Federation, we pride ourselves on being a small school with big ambitions. Rooted in our Christian values of Faith, Hope, and Love, we provide a 'sanctuary' for learning where every child is known, valued, and challenged.
Why Appleshaw?
- A Knowledge-Rich Journey: We believe in the power of a deep, sequential curriculum. From the first steps in Phonics to complex problem-solving in Year 6, we ensure our children don’t just 'do' lessons—they acquire a body of knowledge that lasts a lifetime.
-
Learning Without Walls: Our dedicated Forest School and commitment to outdoor learning aren't just 'extras.' We use our beautiful Hampshire setting to build the resilience, curiosity, and independence that children need to thrive in the modern world.
-
Small School, Wide Horizons: Being part of the Skylark Federation means our pupils benefit from the intimacy of a village school combined with the resources, sporting opportunities, and professional expertise of a larger educational community.
-
Character at the Core: Beyond academic success, we are committed to 'The Whole Child.' Through our character education and international outlook, we prepare our students to be compassionate, responsible, and courageous citizens.
