About St Swithun Wells Catholic Primary School, Chandlers Ford

St Swithun Wells Catholic Primary School in Chandlers Ford is a state primary for children aged 4 to 11, currently home to 194 pupils against a capacity of 210. That leaves a little breathing room, but the school is clearly in demand: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 13 applications for just 7 places, with all 7 first-preference families offered a spot. The oversubscription ratio of 1. 86 tells you it’s a popular choice locally. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 10. 3%, which is below the national average for primary schools and reflects the relatively affluent catchment in the Eastleigh area. As a Roman Catholic school, faith is central to its identity, and the headteacher is Anne-Marie Jordan. The school is mixed and has no nursery or sixth form provision, so it’s purely a primary option for families looking for a Catholic education from Reception through to Year 6.
