Home & Learning Excellence | Embley School, Hampshire

Children progress from Embley as Renaissance individuals, formed into intellectually curious and open-minded young people who seek their personal best in all that they do and are adept at being effective navigators in a sea of change. They are successful, rounded, happy and compassionate young people who don’t think less of themselves, just think of themselves less.

Ours is a school….

Curiosity is encouraged and developed. It informs our children’s enquiry, engages their thinking and makes them adept solution finders.

Curiosity at Embley

  • Embley Flying Club

    This year, we have launched the Embley Flying Club in collaboration with British Young Pilots, offering expert-led tutorials and hands-on training with a flight simulator.

  • Geography trip to Morocco

    Students from Year 8 and 9 had an incredible experience exploring Morocco on a week-long geography tour. 

By allowing children to be purposefully uncomfortable, they embrace experiences that provide opportunity to see the world from different perspectives.

Compassion at Embley

  • With feathers

    Did curiosity really kill the cat? Over the course of the year, I interview hundreds of students. Recently I was interviewing a prospective student from Germany. As is often the case we talked about all sorts.

  • Remembrance Service

    Embley students, staff and our wider community came together to honour those who have served through a series of Remembrance events.

To be authentically human is to engage our capacity to reason. Children develop a keen analytical awareness and an ability to discern effectively.

  • Art & Design residential to St Ives

    Year 9 students enjoyed an inspiring, creativity-packed residential trip to St Ives. Students took part in group activities and had the opportunity to choose from an Art, Photography, 3D Design or Food and Nutrition itinerary.

    Sometimes in life bad things happen. Sometimes they happen even when we have nothing to do with them, they just happen.

“Our role is to create a generation of young people who will make the world a better place. We shape children to focus on being ‘their’ best. They arrive at a destination that may seem ‘the best’ but are not complacent to settle there. An Embley education brings out a level of achievement in the children that they didn’t know they had.”

As an innovative and forward-looking school, we are purposefully suited to the challenges of the modern world. Our focus is on the formation of young people who don’t just believe in success, they live it authentically.


Beyond their own A*

Our focus is on the formation of authentic and successful young people who can become anything they want to be.

We take children beyond what statistics say they can do. Your child will leave Embley with a promising future ahead of them, a portfolio of strong academic results, a finely tuned emotional and intellectual toolkit. 

Embley is an HMC accredited school. 

 

We are a Prep, Senior School and Sixth Form as one; on one breath-taking site and with one shared vision for our children. From the early years of childhood to the final days of Sixth Form, this is a journey we are on together; each member of staff with each child in our care.

A 130 acre classroom

Learning at Embley is not contained by public exam specifications. Alongside a rich academic curriculum sits our programme of over 200 co-curricular experiences, each specifically designed to develop life-long skills that enhance learning and personal development. Set amidst a stunning 130- acre woodland campus, we believe that academic progression and personal wellbeing are enhanced by outdoor adventure, serving others, playing sport and participating in the Arts.

Adventure & Service

From learning about duty and service at our partner school in Ghana, community projects closer to home, our Combined Cadet Force and Duke of Edinburgh programme, to understanding the importance of teamwork and building resilience while sailing on Embley’s fleet of keelboats and trekking the three highest peaks in Scotland, there is nothing better

than seeing the delight on children’s faces when they are allowed to be purposefully uncomfortable and realise what they are capable of.

Sport at Embley

We don’t chase silverware, we chase performance because we believe it is the challenge to improve, the resolve to endure and the drive to succeed that inspires the journey rather than the destination. Our focus is on how we get better,

incrementally, humbly recognising how we improve and master our craft. The ‘prize’ is improvement, the silverware just acknowledges it.

Explore Sport

The Arts

From being immersed in one of our artist in residence workshops in our purpose-built art studios, to taking to the stage in a whole school Broadway productions to a sell-out audience, or playing alongside acclaimed pianists and composers, we instil a love, appreciation and respect for the

Arts. Embley is alive with the Arts and there’s no better way to experience this than at our annual, rival to Edinburgh, Embley Fringe.

"The overall purpose of Embley is ‘the formation of children’ and clearly education is a part of that. But here, they teach scientists and not students of science – it’s contextualised, meaningful, collaborative, analytical and creative - an intoxicating blend formulated to cultivate inquisitive and thoughtful young people."

“We found the children to be wholesome and curious, with few inhibitions. When we asked them what they liked about the school, one threw her arms in the air and roared 'everything!'"

"A dynamic, forward-thinking school in a stunning location, where pupils are encouraged to 'find what makes them tick' (whatever that may be) and stretched and challenged to 'be their best selves'."

“There are so many opportunities at Embley to challenge myself. A sense of adventure is actively encouraged, and I've developed the confidence to step outside my comfort zone and to be more curious which has really helped me with my studies and to understand more about me as an individual.”

“Parents unwavering in their praise for the school's 'focus on the individual', the opportunities beyond the classroom and the 'incredible teachers' who 'nurture their confidence'.”
