Fryern Infant School
About Fryern Infant School
Fryern Infant School in Eastleigh is a state primary for children aged 4 to 7, and its intake data tells a clear story of local demand. The school has a capacity of 165 places but currently hosts 135 pupils, leaving some room to grow. However, the most recent admissions round for 2025/26 shows it is oversubscribed: 90 families applied for 40 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2. 25. Of those 90 applicants, 38 were first-preference choices, and exactly 38 first-preference offers were made — meaning every family who put Fryern as their top choice secured a place. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 17%, which is above the national average for primary schools (typically around 14-15%), suggesting the school serves a slightly more disadvantaged cohort than the norm. This is a small, popular infant school where demand outstrips supply, but where first-preference families are well served.
