Education
Charles Kingsley’s School
The village school is Charles Kingsley’s Church of England aided Primary School. When Charles Kingsley came to Eversley as Curate in 1843, few people in the village could read or write. The village cobbler, Snuffy Clapham, taught some children in his cottage in Fox Lane, as did Sarah Winter at hers in Bramshill. Kingsley began evening classes in the summer house on The Mount, overlooking the church, assisted by Frederick Marshall, whom he later sent to WinchesterTrainingCollege.
Largely due to Kingsley’s efforts, the ParishSchool was built in 1853, on common land entrusted by Sir William Cope, the Lord of the Manor. Frederick Marshall became the first schoolmaster in Eversley, at a salary of £35.00 a year. The school was soon acknowledged as one of the best in the area and children from neighbouring parishes were allowed to attend on payment of 2d a week.
Over the years the school has been enlarged and has recently added a sixth permanent classroom and a seventh temporary one. In 1999 the school won a prestigious “Named School Award” in the Minister for Education’s Annual Report, and has also been awarded Beacon status. In 2002 it was ranked 2nd highest achiever in Hampshire and was number 37 in the top 100 schools in the country, beating more than 18,000 others. Boys and girls from the ages of 4 to 11 years attend.. The school welcomes visits and appointments can be made with the Secretary on 0118 973 2187.
