Andover has a traditional connection to the forces, notably its association as a ‘Forces Town’ and as a result, we are proud to have a number of forces (service) children attending our school. We recognise that being part of a forces family can pose unique challenges and opportunities and we aim to provide connections and support for these children by running a Forces club once a week for these children. This is a chance for our children to share their experiences, to celebrate their successes and support their challenges in a safe environment. Children will attend Forces Club if they have a serving parent in the Armed Forces and for one year after the parent has left the Armed Forces. The vision for our Forces Club is

‘Prepare for what is coming, support for what is happening’

Our Armed Forces Curriculum has been designed alongside Mrs Braxton, Deputy Headteacher at Endeavour and whose husband is a serving soldier in the Army. Our curriculum aims to give children knowledge of the world, different services in the armed forces and history of the UK, alongside developing tolerance, empathy and emotional intelligence.
