About New Milton Junior School

Just over two-thirds of parents would recommend New Milton Junior School to other families, according to the most recent Parent View data, which is a solid signal that most families who know the school feel positive about it. The school is also comfortably oversubscribed, with 341 pupils on roll against a published capacity of 372, suggesting that local demand is healthy without being frantic. That combination — a decent recommendation rate and a manageable oversubscription ratio — points to a school that is well-regarded in the New Forest area but not so fiercely competitive that getting a place feels like a lottery. For parents weighing up options for Year 3 entry, this suggests a realistic shot at admission, particularly for those living within the catchment. The school is a state-funded, mixed primary for ages 7 to 11, with no religious character, and is led by headteacher K Geary. It sits within Hampshire local authority, and its most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in December 2021, confirmed that the school remains Good overall.
