About Ashford Hill Primary School

Ashford Hill Primary School is a small state primary in Basingstoke and Deane, within the Hampshire local authority, and it sits in a competitive local landscape. Among primary schools of the same type in the area, it ranks 10th out of 40, placing it in the top quarter locally. The top-performing peers in the same authority include Preston Candover Church of England Primary School, Our Lady and St Joseph Catholic Primary School, and St Faith's Church of England Primary School, all of which score higher on the same ranking metric. With just 104 pupils against a capacity of 140, the school is significantly undersubscribed, yet it received 33 applications for 20 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, with all 20 first-preference applicants offered a spot. This suggests a modest but committed local demand. The school is mixed, non-religious, and serves children aged 4 to 11, with a relatively low proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals at 8.7%.
