About Valentine Primary School & Nursery

Valentine Primary School & Nursery sits within the Southampton local authority, where it ranks 36th out of 42 primary schools on the key stage 2 expected standard measure. That places it in the bottom half of the LA table, well behind the top-performing local peers such as Mansel Park Primary & Nursery School, Springhill Catholic Primary School, and Sinclair Primary and Nursery School. The school is led by headteacher Daniel Constable-Phelps and serves 511 pupils from age 0 to 11, with capacity for 570. A notable feature is its high proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals, at 47.7 per cent, which is significantly above the national average and gives context to its academic profile. Valentine also provides nursery provision and is a mixed, non-religious state primary. In its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2025, the school was rated Good across all graded areas, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. This marks a clear improvement from its previous inspection in 2022, when the overall effectiveness was Requires Improvement.
