About Clatford Church of England Primary School
Clatford Church of England Primary School is a state primary in Test Valley, Hampshire, and it is a school that local families clearly want to get into. With 205 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210, it is effectively full, and the demand is striking: for 30 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 85 applications, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2. 83. Of those, 41 were first-preference applications, and only 28 first-preference offers were made. The school’s intake is notably less disadvantaged than the national average, with just 2% of pupils eligible for free school meals, compared with a typical primary figure of around 23% nationally. The school has a Church of England religious character, and the headteacher is Matthew Kirk. In its most recent Ofsted inspection, carried out in February 2025, the school was rated Good across all graded areas, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision. This is a downgrade from its previous inspection in 2014, when it was rated Outstanding overall.
