Moyles Court. While there are many beautiful and historic school buildings throughout the country, few reside within a National Park boundary in the way that Moyles Court School does.
The New Forest, well known for its ancient heathlands, deep forests, and native ponies, attracts visitors from around the world. We’re pleased to say that our little corner remains very peaceful and it is only really local people who walk and enjoy the beautiful heathlands.
Being able to walk directly out of our own safely enclosed gardens, straight into the New Forest, means we can maintain a healthy and natural outdoor life for our children and help satisfy their natural curiosity and energy. All pupils at the school enjoy their immediate surroundings with its huge sandpit – formed on the south side of a natural sandhill – the ford, brook, and surrounding lakes. It is here that Geography, Science, History, and Art start to take form for many of our children. There is also the physical activity of walking, exploring, and sailing on the local lakes.
The school grounds of 14 acres are enclosed and the school enjoys a very open, sunny aspect. We have our woodland and we actively encourage wildlife to thrive there. It is only natural that we should be part of the Forest Schools initiative where children learn about conservation and natural habitats.
The school site is large enough to accommodate a modern sports hall, Early Years and Pre-School facilities, gardens, sports fields, and an all-weather multi-sports court.
Moyles Court School is a preserved and well-maintained historic house with a warming family atmosphere. It has retained many of its traditional features while providing a stimulating and beautiful place to learn. Moyles Court is unique in every way. The ethos and purpose of our school are encapsulated in our Mission Statement:
“Moyles Court School educates each pupil within an inspiring, challenging and nurturing environment, to become responsible and respectful members of an ever-changing international community”
At Moyles Court, we recognize the importance of providing an academic and broad-based education, designed to enable all pupils to discover their strengths and allow them to flourish and fulfill their potential. They are encouraged to work effectively, both independently and as a team, and to express their creativity and powers of imagination in a stimulating and supportive environment. We strive to foster self-confidence, enthusiasm, resilience, tolerance, good manners, and integrity and provide a level of pastoral care that nurtures both physical health and emotional maturity. We recognize that for future success, life skills play an equally important role alongside academic achievement and encourage our pupils to be innovative, compassionate, and purposeful.
