About Hounsome Fields Primary School.

The school is part of an exciting urban development in Basingstoke. The school has been designed by Hampshire  County Council and in partnership with the Engage Enrich Excel Academies (EEEA) Hounsome Fields Primary School promises to be one of the best school buildings in the country.

The building itself revolves around a courtyard area and there will be two floors. The designers have created a building that appreciates the natural surroundings and allows light to flow through the building, to enhance the children’s learning experience.

The school grounds are extensive and children will benefit from a large sports field, a hard surface play area and a football pitch. In addition to these great resources, children in the early years will be able to play in a beautifully constructed playground aimed at developing their academic, social and spiritual skills. They will be able to experiment and explore the world around them in a safe, secure and stunning setting.
