Bartley Church of England Junior School
About Bartley Church of England Junior School
Bartley Church of England Junior School is a state primary for children aged 7 to 11 in the New Forest, currently teaching 296 pupils against a capacity of 384. That leaves around a quarter of places unfilled, which suggests the school is not oversubscribed and may have room for families moving into the area. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 12.2%, a figure that sits below the national average for primary schools (typically around 23%) but is broadly in line with the Hampshire local authority context. The school has a Church of England religious character, though admissions are managed by the local authority and the school does not operate its own nursery or sixth form. With a mixed gender intake and no boarding provision, it serves a largely local, day-pupil community. The headteacher is Will Hodge, who leads a team that has maintained a steady Good rating from Ofsted across its most recent inspections.
