From the South Baddesley Church of England Primary School
2 miles to the east of Lymington is where you may find South Baddesley CE Primary School. The little red structure that is still standing was used as the school when it was established in 1854. As the school expanded, new structures were erected to the original location, giving the students exceptional amenities. There are 120 students enrolled in South Baddesley right now. The nearby communities of South Baddesley, Walhmapton, Norleywood, East End, Portmore, East Boldre, and Lymington send students to the school. The school has tight ties to St. Mary's Church and collaborates closely with parishioners to give students moral and spiritual direction. Maintaining the school's village culture requires strong ties to the local community. Four mixed-age courses are set up at South Baddesley School. Each class's mix of older and younger students aids in the development of the kids' social and emotional skills. There are other persons working in each class and across the school in addition to the four class teachers. Our skilled teams support each class and create the curriculum to meet the academic demands of each student. The knowledge of additional adults contributes to giving the students a rich experience.
