About Mount Pleasant Infants

Mount Pleasant Infants is a state primary school in Southampton for children aged 3 to 7, and it is currently operating close to capacity with 311 pupils against a school capacity of 350. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 20.1 per cent, which is notably higher than the national average for primary schools and reflects the school’s role in serving a diverse local community. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 112 applications for 82 places, with 79 of those applications coming as first preferences. That works out at 1.37 applications per place, and the school was officially oversubscribed. With a nursery provision on site, it also caters for children from age three, making it a natural starting point for families in the area. The school is non-denominational and mixed, and it sits within the Southampton local authority, where only seven out of 54 primary schools currently hold an Outstanding rating.
