	Herne Junior School is set in extensive grounds in a residential area to the east of Petersfield, a small market town in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with views to the South Downs.

	New covered walkway through the courtyard, February 2010.
New adventure playground, April 2010.

The school was built in the 1970s when a rapid increase in the population of the town meant that the old school in the town centre was unable to accommodate the numbers. That school became Petersfield Infant School. Subsequent increases in numbers have meant that the school has since built a new hall, library, new classrooms and an ICT suite.
Recent improvements to the school have included a ramp to the playgrounds, new seating, storage for bikes and scooters, new staffroom, new adventure playground and a totally revamped ICT suite.
The school currently has around 400 pupils on roll, with three or four classes in each year group. The school's intake mostly comes from the feeder school Petersfield Infant School, and Herne in turn feeds into the town's secondary school, The Petersfield School.
Herne Junior School believes that educating the child is a partnership between school, parents, governors, LEA and the local community. A partnership can only be effective if all these groups share information concerning the welfare, work and progress of the pupil as well as expectations for the future.
Herne encourages its pupils to enjoy the education experiences offered and for each individual to develop in confidence and self-esteem.
We are especially proud of our sporting achievements which include winning the Hampshire Schools under-11 Football Cup in 2008, and the Butser Hill Challenge shield in 2007 and 2008.
Visits to the school are welcomed
