About Queen's Inclosure Primary School

Queen's Inclosure Primary School in Havant is a state-funded mixed primary for ages 4 to 11 that is effectively full, with 415 pupils against a capacity of 416. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 10.6%, which is below the national average for primary schools and suggests a relatively less disadvantaged intake than many schools nationally. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 130 applications for 60 places, making it oversubscribed with a ratio of 2.17 applicants per place. Of those, 57 families put it as their first preference, and 55 first-preference offers were made, indicating that nearly all who wanted a place got one at first choice. The school is led by headteacher Jo Allen and has no religious character. It does not offer nursery provision or a sixth form.

Academically, Queen's Inclosure holds a Good rating from Ofsted, confirmed in an ungraded inspection in September 2023 that found the school 'remains Good'. The previous graded inspection in 2014 also rated overall effectiveness as Good, with leadership and management also Good. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments, 57% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which is below the Hampshire local authority average of 61%. However, individual subject results were stronger: 78% met the expected standard in reading, 70% in maths, and 63% in writing. At the higher standard, 27% achieved higher in maths and 23% in reading, though only 2% reached higher in writing and the combined measure. Average scaled scores were 105 in reading and 104 in maths. Nationally, the school ranks in the bottom 50% for its combined expected standard score, sitting at the 64th percentile in the South East region.

The school offers a range of facilities including art studios, a sports hall, music rooms, a sensory room, and playing fields. Sports provision includes cross country, cricket, rounders and gymnastics, while clubs extend to gardening, book club, chess and choir. SEND support covers specific learning difficulties such as dyslexia, moderate learning difficulty, social, emotional and mental health needs, speech, language and communication needs, hearing impairment and physical disability. With an oversubscription ratio of 2.17, families should apply early and list it as a first preference to maximise chances. This school will suit parents seeking a well-subscribed, Good-rated primary in Havant with a broad range of facilities and SEND support, though those prioritising top-tier academic outcomes may want to compare with higher-performing local options such as Front Lawn Primary Academy, which is 3.2 km away and rated Outstanding.
