What The Good Schools Guide says..

Pupils describe the atmosphere as ‘encouraging’; in this friendly school ‘everyone seems to get along’, said another. ‘I love the way they applaud each other’, said the head, recounting how the maths challenge winner gets as warm applause as rugby team. Pupils say this is a school for children who are ‘open to trying new things and excited about doing things’, and the vast array of extracurricular attracted many of the pupils we spoke to.

What the school says...

Churcher’s College is an Independent day school for boys and girls from 3 – 18 years of age offering Nursery, Junior, Senior and Sixth Form education. With around 865 pupils in the Senior School and 225 pupils in the Junior School (excluding the Nursery) of approximately equal numbers of boys and girls, Churcher’s College enjoys recognition as one of the most accomplished independent, co-educational day schools in the country.
The school is hosted on two campus sites in Hampshire enabling the Junior School and Nursery pupils to flourish in their own beautiful grounds in Liphook, whilst maintaining close links to the Senior School and Sixth Form located in nearby Petersfield. Both sites offer on-site playing fields and unrivalled facilities, providing the comfort and opportunities of an open, healthy environment.

Headmaster

Since 2004, Simon Williams BSc (biology, Durham), married to Alison, with three children, one of whom is still at Churcher’s. The head started his teaching career at King’s College Wimbledon, where he taught biology and rugby, progressing to head of science at Newcastle under Lyme school, then deputy head at Warwick school.
