Reading an Ofsted report
Ofsted says that from September 2024 it no longer gives an overall effectiveness judgement for state-funded schools, and it has introduced new report cards. So the older "Outstanding/Good" shorthand may not appear on recent reports. Read the report itself on the links above rather than relying on a summary.
Admissions and catchment
Admissions for Hampshire schools go through Hampshire County Council. Start at School admissions for how to apply for a reception, Year 3 (infant to junior), Year 7 or in-year place, the closing dates and how to contact the admissions team. Check each school's own admissions policy for how places are allocated. Closing dates change each year, so use the council page rather than our guide. Hampshire's school transport pages cover travel to school.
Infant and junior schools are separate here, so children moving from infant to junior school at the end of Year 2 normally apply for a Year 3 place.
Term dates
Term dates for Hampshire schools are in our term dates guide. Each school also sets its own INSET days.
