About Redbridge Primary School

Redbridge Primary School in Southampton is a state primary for mixed genders aged 4 to 11, and it is currently running exactly at capacity with 210 pupils on roll matching its 210-place school capacity. The school serves a community with a notably high level of disadvantage: 64.8% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure well above the national average and a key characteristic of its intake. Demand for places is strong, with the school oversubscribed for the 2025/26 academic year. It received 56 total applications for just 28 places, a ratio of two applicants per place, and of those, 35 were first-preference applications, all 28 of which were offered. This level of local demand suggests that families in the area actively seek out Redbridge, despite the challenges its pupil population faces. The school has no religious character and does not offer nursery or sixth-form provision, focusing entirely on its primary-age cohort.
