About Four Marks Church of England Primary School

Four Marks Church of England Primary School is a state primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 4 to 11, currently home to 278 children against a capacity of 315. That leaves some physical headroom, but demand tells a different story: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 66 applications for 44 places, making it oversubscribed with a ratio of 1.5 applicants per spot. All 44 first-preference families were offered a place, which suggests that while competition exists, those who put it first are likely to get in. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 6.5%, notably lower than the national average for primary schools (typically around 23%), reflecting the relatively affluent catchment in East Hampshire. The school’s religious character is Church of England, and it is led by headteacher Warren Glew, who took over a school that had been rated Outstanding in its 2010 inspection but was graded Good overall in its most recent 2023 Ofsted visit.
