Profiles

Priestlands School is a mixed academy school in Pennington, Hampshire in southern England. The school serves an area that includes the villages of Beaulieu, Brockenhurst, East Boldre, Hordle, Norleywood, Pilley, South Baddesley, Sway and the town of Lymington.

Contents

Previously a specialist arts college, in August 2011 the school converted to academy status. A 2008 Ofsted inspection assessed the school with Grade 1 (outstanding).

The school previously divided its student into "A" and "α" houses, but in October 2016 returned to houses used historically: Avon, Forest, Hurst and Solent.

World record attempt

In 2012 the school set the world record for most people standing on one leg for two minutes with 892 people. However, a problem with the video resulted in insufficient evidence for the record to be officially recognised.

Walled Garden and environment

A student group called "The Eco-Warriors" restored an 18th-century walled garden in the grounds with pigs, bees, and chickens in 2008.

The school achieved Eco-Schools silver in 2012.
