Droxford Junior School

What Droxford Junior School does

Droxford Junior School is a small, single-site UK state-funded junior school located in the village of Droxford in the Meon Valley, Hampshire, within the South Downs National Park. The current school building opened in 1929, though educational provision in the village dates to the mid-1800s. The school delivers the national primary curriculum to children in Years 3–6 (ages 7–11) and serves as the designated junior provision for local families. Core funded services sit alongside enrichment and wraparound care products: a Breakfast Club (operated by Active8 Minds from 6 January 2026, £7 per child, 07:30–08:45), a 4:30 Club (£5 per session, Tue–Thu), after-school clubs including a STEM/GreenPower racing programme, day trips and a Y6 Calshot residential, swimming, ELSA emotional literacy support, and a Healthy Schools and Wellbeing programme. The school joined Winchester University Academy Trust in December 2025, transitioning from Hampshire County Council maintained-school governance. Technology is purely operational and third-party: the Arbor Education platform handles parent accounts, top-up payments, and trip consent, with the website built by e4education. As a UK state school, the school is funded primarily through government per-pupil grants; revenue is not publicly disclosed. Distribution is direct on-site delivery to a geographically-defined catchment; community fundraising is channelled through FODS (Friends of Droxford Schools), supported by a network of local business raffle donors and an easyfundraising scheme.
