About Velmead Junior School

Parents considering Velmead Junior School will find a school that is clearly well-regarded locally. While the data does not include a specific parent recommendation percentage, the school’s popularity is evident from its near-full capacity of 384 pupils, with 382 currently enrolled. This suggests strong demand among Hart families for a Year 3 to Year 6 mixed state primary. The school is led by headteacher Andy Howard and sits within the Hampshire local authority. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in 2023, confirmed that the school remains Good, a rating it has held consistently since its previous graded inspection in 2013. For parents, this stability in quality is a reassuring signal, and the school’s oversubscription level indicates that many local families are actively choosing it over other options in the area.
