About Alton Infant School

Alton Infant School is a state primary in Hampshire, catering for children aged 4 to 7, and sits within a local authority that includes 425 primary schools. Among its same-type peers in the area, it ranks behind three top-performing schools: Preston Candover Church of England Primary School, Our Lady and St Joseph Catholic Primary School, and St Faith's Church of England Primary School. The school is mixed and non-religious, with headteacher Richard Mead leading a pupil roll of 152, well within its capacity of 180. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in June 2024, confirmed the school remains Good, a rating it has held consistently. The previous graded inspection in 2015 also awarded Good overall, with leadership and management and early years provision both rated Good. This stability in quality is notable given that only 33 of Hampshire's 425 primary schools currently hold an Outstanding rating, placing Alton Infant in the solid majority of Good-rated schools.
