In 1722 Richard Churcher recognised that the children of Petersfield were faced with many trials and tribulations and he set out to help them face and overcome those challenges. Three hundred years later, though of a different nature, the children of today are still required to call upon a deep-seated set of key skills; a basic highway code of education is not enough nor an education and support network that simply ceases at 18 years old.

It is very difficult to predetermine what support is needed and when, but amongst the Churcher’s community there is the most impressive network of people, with an extraordinary range of skills, capable and willing to provide advice and guidance. What the school offers the children whilst here is a breadth and depth beyond simple basic educational needs, but our community should and does offer friendship and support well beyond the school gates and school years.

Churcher’s Community provides a place where Old Churcherians, family, former staff, the local community and other friends can come together in a synergy of life-time friendship, a sense of belonging and shared support to the mutual benefit of all. Whether you need assistance now, or in the future, or are able to offer it and have something to share, we are equally keen to hear from you.

Enjoy exploring beyond this home page but above all, stay connected.
