Executive Head's WELCOME
Welcome to The Solent Schools, where it is my absolute privilege to serve as Executive Headteacher.
From the moment you step through our doors, you'll experience the warm and supportive ethos that ensures that every child feels valued, safe and ready to thrive. Everything we do is guided by our six core values: friendship, perseverance, aspiration, teamwork, responsibility and respect.
We value your involvement enormously and warmly invite you to be part of our school family.
Pupils' WELCOME
Welcome to Solent Infant School. We think our school is really great because you get to learn new things and also play games. Art is really fun because you can make creations like sea creature collages and painted self-portraits. Our school values are important because they remind us how to make our school a happy and safe place. We want visitors to our school to see that we are kind and respectful. We like going on school trips to learn and having visitors into school to talk to us. In the summer term, the whole school gets to go on a school trip together - it is a very special day!

It is a pleasure to work with such a dedicated team of professionals who all strive to provide a welcoming, safe, and engaging learning experience for all of our little learners. The teaching teams are incredibly skilled at tailoring learning to meet each individual child's needs and to enable all children to succeed across the curriculum. Inclusion and the celebration of differences is at the heart of everything we do at Solent, the ethos of acceptance and friendship is what helps to form the basis for the amazing learning across the school. I could not have asked for a better introduction to education for my own two children and am very proud to work within such an amazing team."
"When the children come home bursting to tell you about their day and celebrate with you the responsibilities given and praise received, you know that you made the correct choice. Solent Infant School is a warm, friendly, and nurturing school that has created a wonderful community spirit. Not only can I see this as a parent, but also as an occasional volunteer. I have been fortunate to get that glimpse behind the scenes, where all the children are encouraged and supported to try new things, and where friendship, teamwork, and respect underpin everything."
"I cannot praise Solent Infant School enough for the incredible support, care and compassion they have shown to both my son and me. The school has gone above and beyond to provide him with the emotional support he has needed throughout his time at the school, while continuing to give him a first-class education and believing in him every step of the way. Knowing that when he is at school, he is happy, cared for, understood and surrounded by people who genuinely want the very best for him has meant more to me than I could ever put into words. I’m so grateful for a school that accepts and celebrates my son for who he is, whatever his ability, and makes him feel valued, included and, most importantly, safe. The school has a truly kind, caring and nurturing family ethos where every child matters, and I feel incredibly lucky and grateful that my son is part of such a wonderful school community."
"Solent Infant School provides a nurturing environment that is responsive to the children’s needs whilst encouraging independence and growth. The staff are friendly and approachable. My daughter can’t wait to go to school every morning! I feel very lucky that my children have had such a fantastic start to their education."
