Introduction
FSM educational boarding school in Hampshire continues to have an outstanding reputation for boarding and demand for boarding places continues to rise year after year. The boarding community is at the heart of school life and with almost 100 boarders aged 7 – 13. A dedicated team of house parents, Matrons, resident and duty staff at this wonderful boarding school provide the essential nurturing environment for our boarders to thrive in. Boarding at FSM is enormous fun with ‘Wicked Wednesdays’ and Sunday outings to look forward to, as well as a rich and varied after school programme of activities. There is also lots of time to enjoy the joys of childhood; laughing and playing with friends, reading books and playing games.

About the school
This great boarding shcool in Hampshire is blessed with wonderful grounds that play host to 7 football pitches, 4 rugby pitches, a wonderful Astro-turf, 3 netball courts, 3 tennis courts, a heated outdoor swimming pool and a multi-purpose hall. There is something for everyone at FSM and all these activities contribute to the skills our pupils need for life beyond school. It is a privilege to lead and develop the department forward.
At this boarding school in Hampshire there are options for full and weekly boarding, as well as flexi boarding where space allows. Full boarders stay in at weekends, with weekly boarders going home on Saturdays after fixtures and returning either Sunday night or Monday morning. There is always a degree of flexibility for both options, however. Many weekly boarders choose to stay in for the weekend and some of our full boarders may, very occasionally, go out for the weekend.

Academic life
Learning is the main purpose of this top independent boarding school, and is the method through which the school offers a broad and challenging curriculum. The Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum and National Curriculum are the important elements that lie at the heart of our learning. They present a clear and full entitlement to learning for all pupils. They set out content, attainment targets and levels of progress. Furthermore, for academic subjects in Years 6, 7 and 8, the ISEB’s Common Entrance syllabuses, which are largely based upon the National Curriculum, determine content.
Subjects: PRE-prep Topics, Art, Computing, Design Technology, English, Forest School, Geography, History, Latin, Life Skills, Mathematics, Modern Foreign Languages, Music, Religious, Science, Sport & PE
Sport and culture
The main aim of the games programme at this wonderful boarding school is to provide every child with the opportunity to challenge, develop and improve their skills and knowledge at the appropriate level. Whilst we attempt to give everyone the chance to represent the school during their time here, we are looking to focus upon skill acquisition of the various activities that we provide, as well as trying to build a life-long enthusiasm for physical activity. Over the course of a year, this one of the top boarding schools provides a large number of opportunities for all the children to represent the school in a number of sports. This co-educational boarding school will field teams in football, rugby, hockey, netball, cricket, tennis, athletics, rounders, swimming and cross country. We endeavour to challenge everyone to perform to their best and we are able to push some children towards representative honours. In the last few years many FSM children have gone on to achieve regional and national honours, especially when we have been competing against schools much larger than FSM. Individuals have also triumphed and regional, national and even international level.
Participation in performance gives a child confidence and boosts imagination and communication skills. Drama at this boarding school is a timetabled subject, however classes and teachers also work together to use drama to build links across the curriculum. Similarly all teachers are encouraged to use drama to bring their subjects alive. Spontaneity, improvisation and perfection in performance of any kind (both in front of and behind the scenes) are worthy goals for which to strive and drama provides another worthy platform upon which FSM children can excel.
