Walhampton School is a coeducational private preparatory school situated in the hamlet of Walhampton, near Lymington, England. It is the result of the 1997 merger between Hordle House School, situated in Milford on Sea, and Walhampton School, which was based at the current site. The merged school was known as ’Hordle Walhampton’ until 2013, when it reverted to its previous name of 'Walhampton School'. The Walhampton School was founded in 1948 by Mrs Audrey Brewer, who purchased the house and grounds from the Morrison family. In 1954 Brewer sold the school to John Bradfield who subsequently converted the enterprise into a charitable trust. Hordle House School was founded in 1926 by the Reverend Ernest Whately-Smith, MC. The school has approximately 400 children aged between 2 and 13.
