About Cranford Park Church of England Primary School
Cranford Park Church of England Primary School is a state primary in Hart, Hampshire, one of 425 primary schools in the local authority. Its ranking places it 269th in the county, putting it in the bottom half of Hampshire primaries. The top-performing peers in the area are Preston Candover Church of England Primary School, Our Lady and St Joseph Catholic Primary School, and St Faith's Church of England Primary School, all of which score higher on the same ranking metric. The school is oversubscribed for the 2025/26 intake, with 34 applications for 15 places and 14 first-preference offers, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.27. That level of demand suggests it holds a strong local reputation despite its middling ranking. The school has a Church of England religious character and is led by headteacher Tina Nowell. It operates below its capacity of 210, and 29.4 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is above the national average and gives some indication of the catchment's demographic mix.
