About All Saints Church of England Aided Junior School

All Saints Church of England Aided Junior School in Hart is a state primary for pupils aged 7 to 11, and it is currently running close to full capacity with 535 pupils against a school capacity of 560. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 14.8%, which is notably higher than the national average for primary schools in England, suggesting the school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage. Despite this, demand appears strong; the school is a Church of England aided school, which often gives priority to families with a religious connection, and its near-full roll suggests it is a popular choice among local parents. The school is led by headteacher Tracey Brunton and sits within the Hampshire local authority, where it ranks 94th out of 425 primary schools of the same type.

The nearest outstanding-rated primary school is Elvetham Heath Primary School, 1.9 km away, which may be a consideration for families prioritising that rating.
