About New Milton Infant School

New Milton Infant School is a state primary for children aged four to seven, currently operating well below its capacity of 270 with 190 pupils on roll. This leaves significant room for growth, yet the school is clearly in demand: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 78 applications for just 50 places, with all 50 first-preference families offered a spot. The oversubscription ratio of 1. 56 confirms that more families want in than there are spaces, though the school is not yet at full capacity overall. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 22. 4%, which is notably higher than the national average for primary schools and suggests the school serves a community with above-average levels of economic disadvantage. The school is non-religious and mixed, drawing from the New Forest area in Hampshire.
