Leesland Church of England Controlled Infant School
About Leesland Church of England Controlled Infant School
Leesland Church of England Controlled Infant School sits within Hampshire’s large primary landscape, where 425 state primary schools serve families across the county. Among its local peers, the school is not ranked in the top tier — that group is led by Preston Candover Church of England Primary School, followed by Our Lady and St Joseph Catholic Primary School and St Faith’s Church of England Primary School — but Leesland holds its own as a Good-rated infant school in Gosport. It is a Church of England controlled school for children aged 5 to 7, with a mixed intake and a current roll of 171 pupils, just shy of its 180-place capacity. The school is clearly popular locally: for the 2025/26 admissions cycle, it received 105 applications for 51 places, with 51 first-preference offers made, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2. 06. That level of demand suggests parents in the area see it as a solid, reliable option for the early years of primary education.
