Rookwood School is a non-selective independent day and boarding school for children aged 3 to 16, located on a rural campus off Weyhill Road in Andover, Hampshire, England. Due to its proximity to Tidworth Camp, Wiltshire, a substantial number of its pupils are children of military personnel or MoD employees.
