Amesbury School offers an exceptional independent education for children from Reception to Year 8. An Amesbury education delivers the national curriculum and follows the Pre-School Baccalaureate skills-based framework, more suited to the modern world. Amesbury treats each child as an individual, understanding their unique learning style, talents, passions, and strengths. To help you get to know us better, we offer a range of Open Events tailored to suit different schedules and educational stages.

At Amesbury, individuality thrives and children radiate happiness. We’re a school dedicated to uncovering and nurturing every child’s unique talents and interests. We foster engagement through a relaxed, fun, yet purposeful atmosphere. Academically ambitious, steely on the games field, and ‘mind-blowingly good’ in the Performing Arts’. It is nearly impossible to capture our school in so few words, come and see for yourself.

From the head…

From my very first visit here, I recognised that there is something special about this school, with its illustrious history and wonderfully warm and welcoming atmosphere – a school that genuinely combines the importance of traditional values with a modern, dynamic and forward thinking approach to education.

Your child’s journey starts here

{Our children were happy from the outset. They were nurtured, guided, encouraged, applauded, given the freedom to be themselves and the confidence to grow. They found their feet among their peers and have made rock solid friendships which will last a lifetime. Being happy enabled them to succeed in every aspect of school life and they have benefitted from all the amazing opportunities on offer.

{“I just wanted to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to each and everyone of you who has been involved in my daughter’s education. She has honestly had THE best time at Amesbury and this is all down to the dedication, supportive and truly fabulous teaching team that has surrounded her. So from us to all of you THANK YOU for enabling her to flourish, to give her the confidence to achieve and for all the time and effort you have given her – we could not have asked for anymore.  She is really going to miss Amesbury a decision we have found very difficult to make but we truly believe she is ready for the next exciting chapter in her life but will look back at Amesbury with only the fondest of memories.”

“My daughter came home beaming, she had an interview with Mr Franklin!  I just wanted to extend my thanks to everyone who has made her feel so welcome at Amesbury after we relocated here from Singapore.

Our whole family is absolutely loving Amesbury, we have seen such a positive change in her, even my mum commented how her confidence has grown in such a short time”
