About Hook Infant School

Hook Infant School is a state primary in Hart, Hampshire, serving children from ages 5 to 7. It currently has 336 pupils against a capacity of 360, meaning it is very close to full but not yet at its limit. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 12.5%, which is worth noting in the context of a relatively affluent area. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 165 applications for 111 places, making it oversubscribed with a ratio of 1.49 applicants per place. Of those, 105 families put it as their first preference, and all 105 received offers. This suggests a school that is popular locally but still accessible for families who prioritise it. The school is mixed, has no religious character, and is led by headteacher M D Walker.
