Moyles Court School is a private school located in Rockford, Hampshire, for children aged 2 to 16 years.

The school was established in the 1940s in Bude, North Cornwall. It was briefly moved to a manor house in Wimborne, Dorset before the then-headteacher, Vesper Hunter, oversaw the move to the current site in 1963. The main building at Moyles Court - the current site - was the former manor house of Rockford, and later Ellingham. The 17th century manor house was once the home of Dame Alice Lisle, the last woman to be publicly beheaded in England following a judicial trial. In 1940 Moyles Court was requisitioned by the RAF as the station Headquarters of the RAF Ibsley Airfield and later derequisitioned in 1946. Whilst they resided here, the officers were known to have used the lawn for tennis.

In 1962, the 53-acre estate was sold at an auction advertised and conducted by Woolley and Wallis. In all, ten lots were sold, including the one containing the current school on 14 acres of land.
