Embley School (formerly Hampshire Collegiate School) is a private co-educational day and boarding school for pupils aged 2 to 18 located in Embley Park in Wellow (near Romsey), Hampshire, England. ^[1] It is part of the United Church Schools Trust.

History

In 1946, Embley Park (the former family home of Florence Nightingale) became a boarding school for boys between the ages of 11 and 18. In 1996, the school joined with an all-girls school based in Romsey, formerly known as La Sagesse Convent. It then consisted of a junior school (ages 3–11), a senior school (ages 11–16), and a sixth-form college (ages 16–18).

In 2006, the school underwent another merger, with The Atherley School, a girls' school in Southampton which had been set up in 1926 by the Church Schools Company, later the United Church Schools Trust. ^[2] The new school was named Hampshire Collegiate School. ^[2] An investment of £14 million expanded the senior school, and created a new junior school.^{[ citation needed ]} In 2019, the school was renamed Embley. ^[3]
