About West Tytherley Church of England Primary School

West Tytherley Church of England Primary School is a small village primary in Test Valley, currently running at just over half its capacity with 53 pupils against a school capacity of 105. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 11.3%, which is below the national average for primary schools and suggests a relatively affluent intake. Despite the spare capacity, the school is clearly in demand for its local community: for the 2025/26 admissions round, it received 15 applications for just 7 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.14. Of those 15 applications, 5 were first-preference choices, and all 5 first-preference families were offered a place. This pattern of oversubscription against a backdrop of overall spare capacity suggests the school is highly sought-after by families within its immediate catchment but draws from a small local population.
