About Appleshaw St Peter's CofE Primary School

Appleshaw St Peter's CofE Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 26 applications for just 14 places, giving it an oversubscription ratio of 1.86. All 14 first-preference applicants were offered a spot, which suggests that for those who put it top of their list, the school is a realistic option. The school has a Church of England character and is a state primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 4 to 11, located in the Test Valley borough of Hampshire. With 87 pupils on roll against a capacity of 105, there is some physical room, but demand clearly outstrips supply. The headteacher is Ian Hickman, and the school's most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in October 2022, confirmed that it remains Good overall, with leadership and management also rated Good.
