Sun Hill Infant School

Choosing a first school for your child is a huge moment for any family and we understand just how important those early years are, not only for children, but for parents too. For many years, families in Alresford have chosen us as the place where their children begin that journey, often starting in preschool before moving happily and confidently through the infant years together.

​

From the very beginning, we want families to feel part of school life. We are proud to create an environment where children feel safe, excited and eager to come through the gates each morning, while parents feel reassured that their child is genuinely known, understood and cared for as an individual. We believe children learn best when they are happy, settled and full of confidence and that warmth and sense of belonging can be felt throughout the school.

​

Many children take their very first steps into education with us in preschool, growing in confidence through play, friendship and gentle encouragement from experienced staff. By the time they move into the infant school, they already feel part of a familiar and caring community. Parents often tell us how naturally their children settle and how quickly school begins to feel like an extension of family life.

​

As one of the most established and recognised schools in Alresford, we are proud to remain the first choice for many local families seeking both preschool and infant provision. Our reputation within the town has been built over many years through close relationships with families, happy children and a genuine understanding of what parents want from an early education experience.

​

That journey continues seamlessly with our close partnership with Sun Hill Junior School, our big sister junior school. Around 95% of our children move on together, making transition feel exciting and familiar rather than daunting. Through regular visits, shared activities and strong links between staff, children become confident and comfortable in their new surroundings long before they arrive. Parents often tell us it feels like one continuous journey, with children moving forward alongside their friends, ready and excited for the next chapter of school life.
