About The Toynbee School
Welcome to Toynbee. We are a successful Hampshire County Council Community comprehensive school for pupils aged 11 to 16 situated in Chandlers Ford, a pleasant residential area on the outskirts of Eastleigh. Our position close to the M27 and M3 enables easy access to Romsey, Southampton and Winchester. We have at present approximately 1000 pupils on roll. Toynbee enjoys an excellent reputation amongst parents and the local community.
A Theatre, two Sports Halls, state of the art Synthetic Pitch and Dance Studio are adjacent to the Music facilities. There are eight laboratories and buildings devoted to Technology and Art. Improvements in the Technology areas have been made and suites of Information and Communication Technology developed. There is a strong Learning Support department and the school has a designated Resource Centre for pupils from Hampshire, Portsmouth and Southampton who have a Visual Impairment. All departments have their own area in the school and almost all staff have their own teaching space. The school has an excellent Learning Resource Centre which has just been refurbished.
The school has a strong reputation for extra-curricular activities and the staff are encouraged to take part. We are keen to develop able and talented pupils through our special scheme. As well as a wide range of clubs, sporting, artistic and musical activities we run exchange visits to France and Spain.
The Toynbee ethos combines the achievement of ‘Personal Best’ with genuine concern for academic results. The school is organised on a year system with Progress Directors, Guidance Managers and Tutors taking pupils through their five years spent at Toynbee.
The school operates a two week timetable comprising of fifty, one hour lessons a fortnight. Toynbee seeks to develop the potential of all pupils and maintains an ethos of academic achievement. Examination results have improved substantially and progress is significantly above national figures. Both the English and Maths departments achieved fantastic results with 68% of pupils achieving a 4+ or above in English, and 82% of pupils achieving a 4+ or above in Maths in previous years. However, the philosophy of the school would expect this achievement to be within the context of a curriculum which offers an extensive programme of activities and challenges. The quality of community life is important to us and we are proud of our reputation as a friendly, caring school.
