What the figures show
- Every applicant was offered a place for Reception in 2026, but places ran out in both 2020 and 2024, when a last distance was published, and that distance swung sharply between some years.
- For Reception 2026 there were 23 first-choice applications for 23 offers, and every first-choice family was offered a place.
- 2024/25: 38% met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, lowest of 8 schools: this one and the 7 of the 8 nearest primary schools in Hampshire that have results.
Worked out by Catchmently from the published figures on this page and those for other Hampshire schools. Distances are as published; how they were measured differs between admission authorities.

Strengths

To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects leaders have not identified the key information that they want pupils to learn in sufficient detail.”
- “This means that pupils do not always connect new knowledge to previous learning effectively.”
- “In these few subjects, pupils do not learn as well as they could.”
