About Alverstoke Community Infant and Pre-School

Alverstoke Community Infant and Pre-School is a popular choice for local families, and the numbers back that up. For its 36 reception places in the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 93 applications, giving it an oversubscription ratio of 2. 58. Every one of those 36 places went to a first-preference applicant, which tells you that for the families who want it most, it is a realistic option. The school does not have a parent view score from the most recent Ofsted process, but the high demand and strong first-preference conversion suggest a solid reputation in the Gosport area. As a state primary for children aged 2 to 7, it also includes a nursery provision, making it a natural starting point for families looking for continuity from pre-school through to infant years.
