About St Faith's Church of England Primary School

St Faith's Church of England Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 56 applications for just 20 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.8. Even more telling, 28 families put it down as their first preference, and all 20 places went to first-preference applicants. That kind of demand suggests a school that parents in Winchester trust and actively want their children to attend. The school is a state primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 4 to 11, with a Church of England character and a headteacher named Benjamin Bond. It's a small school, with 149 pupils on roll against a capacity of 150, and just 2% of children eligible for free school meals. The most recent Ofsted inspection, in February 2024, rated the school Good overall, with Outstanding marks for early years provision, personal development, and behaviour and attitudes.
