My eldest has finished at Test Valley and had a very happy time there, he was wonderfully supported by Learning Support and my other son who is academic and is attending the school at present is also well taught and is extremely happy - if you enjoy school you will learn. There have been some small issues but you would expect that with any secondary school. It is a smaller, friendly, welcoming school.

I have wonderful memories of going to this school. That was a long time ago back in the early 1980's.
