About Townhill Junior School

Townhill Junior School is a state primary for children aged 7 to 11 in Eastleigh, and it is a school that local families clearly want to get into. The school is oversubscribed, with 256 pupils on roll against a capacity of 240, which suggests strong local demand. However, the school does not publish a parent recommendation percentage, so it is harder to gauge how satisfied families are directly. The headteacher is Nick Humphries, and the school serves a community with a high level of disadvantage: 48.8 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average. This context matters when looking at the school’s performance, because the challenges its pupils face are significant. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, in 2022, rated it Good overall, with Good marks for quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. That is a notable improvement from its previous inspection in 2019, when it was rated Requires Improvement.
