About Cupernham Infant School

Cupernham Infant School is a state primary in Test Valley, Hampshire, catering for children aged 4 to 7. With 244 pupils on roll against a capacity of 270, the school is not full, leaving some headroom for local families. Its intake reflects a moderate level of disadvantage: 13.5% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is slightly below the national primary average. Demand for places is strong, however. For the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 147 applications for 90 places, making it oversubscribed with a ratio of 1.63 applicants per place. Of those, 79 were first-preference applications, and all 79 received offers. This suggests that while the school has capacity, it is a popular choice among parents who list it first, and securing a place may require living within the catchment area. The school is mixed, non-denominational, and led by headteacher Duncan Wells.
