Rookwood School

Nestled on a leafy site in Andover, Rookwood School is a happy and thriving learning environment for pupils aged 2 to 18. At the heart of our ethos is strong pastoral care, where every individual is treated with respect and dignity. Our school motto, ‘Sapere Aude,’ translates to ‘dare to know’ or ‘have the courage to understand’, perfectly capturing the essence of our identity. We encourage our pupils to question, explore, and achieve more than they ever thought possible.
