About Alderbury and West Grimstead Church of England Primary School

For families considering Alderbury and West Grimstead Church of England Primary School, the most recent admissions data offers a clear signal of local demand. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 22 applications for its 18 Reception places, resulting in an oversubscription ratio of 1.22. All 18 first-preference applicants were offered a place, meaning that while the school is popular enough to fill its intake, it is not so oversubscribed that families with a strong local connection are routinely turned away. The school is a small, state-funded primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 4 to 11, with a Church of England religious character. It currently has 141 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210, so there is some headroom. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is 12.1 per cent, which is modest. ParentView data, which would give a direct sense of how current families rate the experience, is not available in this dataset, so the oversubscription figure is the best proxy for local satisfaction.
