Forres Sandle Manor School is a vibrant day and boarding school for boys and girls aged 2-16, set in an idyllic 35-acre campus on the outskirts of the river town of Fordingbridge, in the heart of the New Forest. With an average class size of less than 15 across the whole school, everyone at Forres Sandle Manor is well known and nobody is left out. Our school is full of kind, caring and hard-working pupils and inspirational teachers who help to instil a love of learning in all that they do. Above all, our ambition is not to make our pupils fit a pre-defined view of what they should be. We believe in getting to know every pupil and using our school to inspire them to achieve more than they previously thought possible. We want them to leave us believing there are no limits to what they can achieve, for themselves and for others.
