Bosmere Junior School
About Bosmere Junior School
Bosmere Junior School in Havant is a state primary for children aged 7 to 11 that clearly appeals to local families. The school is full to its capacity of 360 pupils, which suggests it is a popular choice among parents in the area. While the school does not provide a specific parent recommendation percentage, its oversubscription status is a practical signal of local confidence. The headteacher, Kathryn Robinson, leads a mixed-gender, non-religious school where 28.3% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure that gives a sense of the community it serves. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 was an ungraded visit that confirmed it remains Good, a rating it has held consistently since its last graded inspection in 2013. For parents weighing up options, the combination of full capacity and a stable Good rating from Ofsted offers a reassuring baseline.
