New Forest Small School Ltd
Lyndhurst, Hampshire, South East · SO43 7BU
True to its name, New Forest Small School in Lyndhurst keeps its numbers deliberately low, with around 65 pupils across the roll. As an independent, co-educational school in this corner of Hampshire, it offers a markedly intimate setting where children are likely to be known as individuals rather than faces in a crowd. The school is non-denominational and takes pupils from age 11, accepting entry at the 11+ stage. It is led by headteacher Mr Alex James and inspected by the ISI.
