Andrews’ Endowed School is a Church
of England Primary School for children from four to eleven
years old. The original school was founded and endowed
under the will of Thomas Andrews in 1719. It was granted
Aided status under the 1944 Education Act. This means
that it is owned by the Diocese but is given financial
and educational support by Hampshire Education Authority.
This enables it to function within the Local Education
Authority while remaining faithful to its original Church
of England foundation. The school’s foundation is
celebrated each year with a service in the Church of the
Holy Rood at Holybourne, when pupils lay posies at the
tomb of Thomas Andrews.
The beautiful 18th century building which
forms the nucleus of the school has been modified and
extended to accommodate the needs of our growing roll.
We are committed to retaining and maintaining the intimate,
family-centred ethos of a village school while ensuring
that our children’s learning needs are met effectively.
