About Copythorne CofE Infant School

Copythorne CofE Infant School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across both its most recent inspections. The school was last inspected in 2021, when inspectors confirmed it remains Good, and its previous graded inspection in 2011 also awarded Good overall. In that 2011 graded inspection, leadership and management, early years provision, and overall effectiveness were all rated Good. The school is a small Church of England primary in the New Forest, with just 71 pupils on roll against a capacity of 90. Because it only covers Reception to Year 2, there are no KS2 SATs results to report — the school’s academic story is told through its consistent Ofsted record rather than exam data. For parents comparing infant schools in Hampshire, the local authority has 33 primary schools rated Outstanding out of 425, and the nearest Outstanding infant school is Hazel Wood Infant School, 3.8 km away.
