Background:

Situated on a single site in the town of New Milton in the south west corner of Hampshire, 'between the beautiful New Forest and the sea', The Arnewood School serves a catchment area which includes Bransgore, New Milton, Barton-on-Sea, Ashley, Hordel and Tiptoe. Built in 1971, with further buildings added over the years, the school offers 'excellent' resources and specialist accommodation and also has daily use of the New Milton Recreation Centre located on the school campus. Considered 'one of the leading comprehensive schools in the country', The Arnewood's 'justifiably excellent' reputation has led to an increase in numbers and the school currently only accepts additional pupils under exceptional circumstances. This 'well organised' school has 'a caring approach to the pastoral needs of both pupils and staff' and aims 'to work towards the individual excellence of each pupil, while not losing sight of the need to help pupils to mature into self disciplined well motivated adults'. The school offers 'all round sporting opportunities of a very high standard'. It believes 'there are strengths in every area of the curriculum' in this 'high achieving school'. There are four European exchanges each year and the school's arts subjects 'continue to flourish'. It has its own recording studio, 'excellent' art facilities and a 'very strong tradition' of drama. The ethos of the school is one in which there is 'a sustained commitment to excellence in all we do'.
