On behalf of the children, staff and governors I would like to warmly welcome you to our school and website.

At Southbourne Infant School we pride ourselves on providing the best possible start to children's learning.  We share our beautiful surroundings with the Junior School.   We are a fully inclusive school and throughout your child’s time with us there is a strong emphasis on independence, responsibility and developing a desire to learn through curiosity and creativity.  We have so much to offer you and your child. 

Our learning values are based on our vision 'Growing happy hearts and minds'.  Our values are:

Kindness

Independence

Responsibility 

Curiosity

Creativity

These values teach children the attributes needed to make them happy life long learners. 

We are committed to providing the highest quality education possible in partnership with parents, and work closely with our whole school community. 

'A warm welcome awaits everybody at this thriving and inclusive school.' OFSTED 2023

Our beautiful school grounds include a Forest School site. Forest School sessions enhance our curriculum offer to all children, enabling children to learn about nature in the best environment. 

We welcome visits to the school for any prospective families.
