Join the Co-educational School of the Year
Ballard is a thriving multi-award-winning co-educational day school set in 34 acres on the Hampshire and Dorset border, between the New Forest and the Solent. Named Co-educational School of the Year 2024/25, Ballard continues to achieve excellent academic outcomes while offering a broad and ambitious curriculum alongside outstanding opportunities in sport, the creative arts and performing arts. With exciting plans in place there has never been a better time to join this happy and successful school.
“I was drawn to Ballard’s superb reputation for nurturing the whole child. The school’s commitment to offering an exceptional range of co‑curricular activities really stood out to me. It reflects a genuine belief in supporting individual talents, interests, and strengths. It felt like the kind of environment where children are encouraged to flourish in every sense.”
“From the second I stepped foot into the school when I came to look around it had such a welcoming feel. I love the motto of ‘bespoke education’ as it ties in so strongly with my own ethos of seeing each child as an individual on their own journey.”
“The opportunity to work in an award-winning, nationally recognised school does not present itself that often, underpinned with a ‘bespoke attitude to education’- something that I feel passionately about. Therefore, after spending an initial day here, I did not hesitate with my application to join the ‘Ballard Family’.”
