About Roman Way Primary School

Roman Way Primary School in Test Valley is a state primary for 4 to 11 year olds that currently teaches 204 pupils against a capacity of 240, leaving around 15% of places unfilled. That spare capacity is notable given the school’s intake profile: 40. 2% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure well above the national average for primary schools and a strong signal that the school serves a community with higher-than-typical levels of disadvantage. Despite this, demand for places is high. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 102 applications for just 28 places, an oversubscription ratio of 3. 64. Of those, 38 were first-preference applications, and 24 first-preference offers were made. That level of competition suggests families in the area actively choose Roman Way, even with other local options available. The school is non-religious and co-educational, with no nursery or sixth form provision.
