Embley Park

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Embley Park, now a school, was the family home of Florence Nightingale.

Embley Park is a school and former country house close to the New Forest and the town of Romsey in Hampshire, which was one of the childhood homes of Florence Nightingale. In 1946 it was made into a boarding school and taught boys from the ages of 11-18. In 1996, Embley Park school joined with an all girls school formally known as La Sagesse Convent (based in Romsey).

It then become a educational school consisting of a junior school (ages 3-11), a senior school (ages 11-16) and a sixth form college (ages 16-18). In 2004, the school underwent merger with The Atherley School (based in Nursling). The merger of these schools formed a new school called Hampshire Collegiate School whose headmaster is David Chapman (the former Embley Park headmaster). The merged school is based on the Embley Park campus. This new school falls under the umbrella of the United Church Schools Trust.
