About Netley Abbey Infant School

Netley Abbey Infant School sits within Hampshire’s large primary landscape — one of 425 state primary schools in the local authority — and holds a Good Ofsted rating from its most recent inspection in 2023. While it doesn’t rank among the top three peers in the area (those are Preston Candover Church of England Primary School, Our Lady and St Joseph Catholic Primary, and St Faith’s Church of England Primary), it’s a solidly performing infant school in Eastleigh. The school is a mixed, non-religious state primary for children aged 5 to 7, with no nursery or sixth form provision. Headteacher Rosie Earle leads a school of 244 pupils, slightly under its capacity of 270. The school is oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 121 applications for 81 places, with 69 first-preference offers made — an oversubscription ratio of 1.49. That level of demand suggests it’s a popular choice locally, even if it isn’t among the very highest-ranked primaries in Hampshire.
