Cupernham Junior School
About Cupernham Junior School
Cupernham Junior School is a state primary for children aged 7 to 11 in the Test Valley borough of Hampshire, and it’s a school that parents seem to trust. In its most recent ungraded Ofsted inspection in 2023, the school was confirmed to remain Good, a rating it has held consistently across both its graded inspections. While the data doesn’t include a specific parent recommendation percentage, the school’s oversubscription picture offers a practical signal of local demand: with 343 pupils on roll against a capacity of 360, it is operating very close to full, suggesting that most families who want a place are getting one. The school is led by headteacher Simon Frost and serves a mixed cohort, with 20.7 per cent of pupils eligible for free school meals, which is slightly above the national average for primary schools. Its religious character is listed as ‘Does not apply’, so there is no faith-based admissions criteria to navigate.
