About Springwood Infant School

Springwood Infant School in Havant is clearly a popular choice among local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 75 applications for just 45 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.67, meaning nearly two families applied for every spot. Of those 75 applicants, 36 put Springwood as their first preference, and all 36 were offered a place. While the school does not publish a formal parent recommendation percentage, the high demand alone suggests strong local satisfaction. The school is a state-funded, mixed-gender infant school for children aged 4 to 7, with a current roll of 141 pupils against a capacity of 180. It has no nursery provision and no sixth form, so families should plan ahead for the transition to junior school. The headteacher is Joanna Livingstone, and the school has no religious character.
