Hello and Welcome to Alderbury and West Grimstead CE Primary School!

We’re so pleased you’ve taken the time to find out more about our wonderful school community.

We’re Kate Malcolm (Executive Headteacher) and Andrea Hodgson (Head of School) and together we’re proud to lead Alderbury & West Grimstead CE Primary School, a place where children are encouraged to grow, thrive and shine. Our school is a vibrant, nurturing environment where every child is supported to discover their unique talents and become happy, confident learners.

At Alderbury & West Grimstead, we believe education is a shared journey. Our staff, governors, families and wider community all play a vital role in shaping the lives of our pupils. As a Church of England school, we’re also blessed with strong connections to our local churches, which enrich our values and deepen our sense of belonging.

We offer a rich and inspiring curriculum which sparks curiosity and a love of learning. Whether it’s exploring new ideas, solving problems, or expressing creativity, our children are encouraged to dream big and aim high. We know that when children feel safe, supported and valued, they flourish—and that’s exactly what we strive for every day.

We’d love to welcome you in person soon. When you visit, you’ll be greeted with a smile and a sense of the warmth and joy that makes our school so special. We’re confident you’ll leave with a lasting impression of a school that truly puts children at the heart of everything we do.

With Warmest Wishes,

Kate Malcolm & Andrea Hodgson
