Infant school

Ages 4–7

Key Stage 2 performance

Cupernham Infant School is an infant school for pupils aged 4–7. Pupils move on to a separate junior or middle school before Year 6, so the school does not enter pupils for the Key Stage 2 SATs and has no KS2 results to publish.

This applies to every infant school in England — it does not mean data is missing. Ofsted judgements and school information are shown below.

Red dashed line = one first choice per place. How to read this

The cut-off distance is how far the last child offered a place lived, not a catchment boundary: it moves every year with the number of applicants. Published by the council in its 2025 allocation figures, and checked against that document before we show it. In 2026 the school was not oversubscribed, so no distance limit applied.

About Cupernham Infant School

Cupernham Infant School is a primary school in Romsey, Hampshire, classified by the DfE as a community school. Around 244 pupils aged 4 to 7 attend the school.

Cupernham Infant School was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 64 families who put it first were offered a place. The council's own allocation figures show the last child offered a place for 2025 lived 9.99 miles away in a straight line — that distance is not a fixed catchment and moves each year. Overall pupil absence was 4.8%. There are about 17.7 pupils per teacher. Cupernham Infant School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
