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.[1]
