What the school says...

A leading independent day and boarding school for girls and boys aged 2-18 nestled in 130 acres on the edge of the New Forest, Hampshire.

We do not compare children with their peers or with so-called norms, every child is unique and deserves the recognition of that as they grow. We encourage an appropriate belief in oneself and being mindful that the world does not end at the tip of one’s nose and that happiness in life is through success in enriching the lives of others.

In its recent ISI inspection, Embley achieved the highest possible ‘Excellent’ rating across all areas in of our provision for pupil achievement and personal development.
