About Hyde Church of England Primary School

Hyde Church of England Primary School is a small state primary in the New Forest that parents clearly want to get into. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 13 applications for just 3 available places, giving it an oversubscription ratio of 4.33. That means more than four families applied for every spot, and all three first-preference applicants were offered a place. While the school doesn't publish a formal parent recommendation percentage, the high demand suggests strong local satisfaction. The school is led by headteacher Tracy Allen and has a Church of England character, though it welcomes families of all faiths and none. With only 43 pupils on a capacity of 70, the school is small by design, which may appeal to families looking for a close-knit, community-focused environment where every child is known well.
