About Us

Danebury School is a small 11-16 secondary school on the outskirts of Stockbridge (one of the “best places to live” in The Sunday Times in 2022).  Our rural location adds a unique dimension to school life and our links across the community. It is also an easy commute from Winchester, Salisbury, Andover, Romsey and Southampton. As a small school, we recognise the right of every student to be offered an appropriate education and aspire to ensure that, through the implementation of a whole school approach to special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), each student can reach their full potential, grow in independence and to support successful transition into adulthood whether into employment, further or higher education or training.
