About Bentley Church of England Primary School

Bentley Church of England Primary School is a popular choice among local families, with 46 applications for 24 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.92. All 24 first-preference applicants received offers, suggesting that while the school is in demand, it is not out of reach for those who prioritise it. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, in 2021, rated it Good overall, with Outstanding marks for personal development and behaviour and attitudes. This aligns with the strong parent-experience signals you might expect: the school clearly fosters a positive environment where children feel safe and motivated. With 187 pupils on roll against a capacity of 218, there is some room for growth, but the oversubscription indicates that Bentley is already a sought-after choice in East Hampshire.
