School in Portsmouth

“Purbrook Junior School was my first school many years ago, since the family lived nearby, in Park Farm Road. I have very fond memories of my schooling there in the halcyon days of the 50s, comic books in the hall on rainy lunchtimes, scraping knees playing soccer on the playing field. I've since visited the school on a holiday from Australia, to where we migrated, and the lovely school still brings back fond memories. Keep up the good work, fellow teachers.”

“When I whent to school here I enjoyed it a lot”

“Little one has just started her second year at Phoenix and it's been fantastic.. Great staff & lovely setting.”

“The Staff here are beyond amazing. They are so good with the children, always doing different things to help them learn and grow. Can’t fault them at all. Great space too, lots of room for them to run about indoors and a lovely outdoor area too. My son loves it here so much and is always talking about the staff who have become a big part of his life.”

“Sent both my children one girl one boy. It’s set them up for life, understanding what is like to be outside, which is the most natural thing in existence. being able to enjoy the beauty of the woods, rain or shine on the southdowns. Key workers were amazing as were Management. Loved see my offspring return smelling of the woods and telling me stories of the Eventful day.”

“From the first visit, we knew our daughter would thrive here. A warm welcome and a room full of smiles - from the staff and the children! The staff have a wonderful bond with the children, our daughter shakes with excitement and screams when they open the gates in the morning. And we love hearing about all of the things she gets up to. There's a fantastic range of activities and they enjoy trips to the local park, library and retirement home. Our daughter always comes home with a big smile on her face. We viewed a few other pre-schools before this one, and they were all lovely. But, the moment we walked through the doors here, it just felt right. The children were so happy, the staff were so friendly and everything felt so natural. They didn't put on a show and nothing felt forced. We couldn't have felt more at home and I will highly recommend them to everyone that's looking for a placement for their 2 year old (and up).”

“Good preschool.very friendly and happy to help at all times.”

“The best!!! Both my little boys have absolutely loved every second of this setting xxx”

“I have always been desperate to do ballet even as a little girl, but sadly it wasn't possible for a number of reasons. After some life events, I decided I wanted to push myself and finally try out adult ballet. I was really nervous as I have no experience with dance whatsoever, and I was not an active person by any means - in fact, I actively disliked being active...! I started with one class a week, and although hard, I completely fell in love with it. The physical benefits are one thing, but I have found the positive benefits on my mental health are a astronomical. For a few hours a week, I spend time focusing on my body, how I'm holding myself, thinking of nothing but pushing through, and digging out every last piece of determination I have (and then some more!) to keep going. I now engage in multiple classes a week, and have set personal goals to reach within ballet to help give me that boost. I can say for someone who used to hide in cupboard when it was time for PE in school - I cannot believe the enjoyment, love and passion for what can be such a difficult hobby. If anyone is considering taking up ballet as an adult - whether you have no experience or some - I would absolutely encourage you to do so. This has been pretty game-changing for me, and I have loved every second. I look forward to many more years (hopefully!) of learning and developing and meeting all those goals I have set with the help of this school and all the lovely teachers within it! :-)”

“A beautiful school with stunning grounds, excellent teaching and a real sense of community. Children of all abilities are supported and challenged appropriately. Learning is fun at Great Ballard - Highly recommended!”

“A small friendly school with good standards.”

“Wonderful school. Helpful, kind and caring.”

“Im in year 4 nearly year 5 this school has alot of clubs”

“I go there and best education I have ever had”

“Amesbury is a great school to have.”

“This nursery school is unique in every way. Miss Scarlett and the team are so so wonderful with the children, making time to support each and everyone to grow in their own way. They run new and exciting activities every day - we were especially fond of the Woodland Forest School. Definitely the best nursery in Hampshire.”
