Anton Junior School
About Anton Junior School
Just over two-thirds of parents who responded to the Ofsted Parent View survey between September 2024 and September 2025 said they would recommend Anton Junior School, with 67% answering yes. That's a solid majority, though it leaves a third who wouldn't. Digging into the detail, 88% of the 58 respondents agreed or strongly agreed their child is happy, and 90% felt their child is safe. Behaviour and bullying scores were more mixed: 59% agreed the school ensures good behaviour, while 31% disagreed or strongly disagreed. On bullying, most parents said the question wasn't applicable, but of those who gave a view, the split was fairly even. The school is oversubscribed in the sense that it has 233 pupils against a capacity of 256, so there is some spare room. That means it's not a school where you'd necessarily need to live right on the doorstep to get a place, though it's worth checking the Hampshire admissions criteria for your specific year.
