Witchampton Church of England First School is a small, friendly village school situated in beautiful rural Dorset, just an eight-minute drive from Wimborne. With a maximum of 75 children on roll, we are proud to offer a nurturing environment where every child is known, valued and encouraged to flourish.

Our children learn in three classes:

• Hedgehogs – Reception: 15 places
• Badgers – Key Stage 1: 30 places
• Foxes – Key Stage 2: 30 places

Our small size is one of our greatest strengths. It enables us to build strong relationships with our children and families, creating a genuine sense of belonging where children feel safe, happy and ready to learn.

We are fortunate to have a school hall, library and extensive outdoor space, including our school field and dedicated Forest School area. We make the most of our rural surroundings and believe that learning and personal development extend well beyond the classroom. Our links with the wider village are equally important: we regularly use the village church for worship, services and celebrations, as well as the village hall for school and community events.

"Pupils and adults are supported to flourish spiritually, emotionally and academically in a culture of holistic care that pervades the school. This transforms the lives of families in the community" Ofsted 2023
