About Cheriton Primary School

If you're a parent in Winchester weighing up Cheriton Primary School, the parent view data offers a strong starting point. In the most recent Parent View survey, covering September 2024 to September 2025, a remarkable 95% of the 57 respondents said they would recommend the school. That's a very high vote of confidence. Digging into the specifics, 93% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy, and 95% felt their child is safe. Behaviour is also a clear strength: 91% agreed the school ensures pupils are well-behaved, which aligns with the Ofsted inspection rating of 'Outstanding' for behaviour and attitudes. The school is clearly popular locally, too. For the 2025/26 intake, Cheriton received 30 applications for just 15 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2:1. Of those, 18 were first-preference applications, and all 15 places went to first-preference families, so getting a place here is competitive.
