About Sun Hill Infant and Preschool

Sun Hill Infant and Preschool holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2021, with the quality of education judged as Good. The most telling academic metric for this infant school, which covers ages three to seven, is the Outstanding rating awarded for both personal development and behaviour and attitudes. These two categories are particularly significant for a school focused on the earliest years of education, as they reflect how well children are prepared for their next stage of learning. The school’s previous inspection in 2007 had rated it Outstanding overall, so the current Good rating represents a change, but inspectors were clear that standards remain strong. In the local authority of Hampshire, 33 out of 425 primary schools are rated Outstanding, placing Sun Hill in a solid position. With 131 pupils on roll against a capacity of 135, the school is nearly full, and the oversubscription data for the 2025/26 intake shows 47 applications for 30 places, with all 30 first-preference applicants receiving an offer, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.57.
