About Selborne Church of England Primary School

Selborne Church of England Primary School is a primary school in Alton, Hampshire, classified by the DfE as a voluntary aided school with a Church of England religious character. Around 88 pupils aged 2 to 11 attend the school. 57% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, broadly in line with the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has fallen by 22.0 percentage points compared with the previous year, though small year groups can make these figures swing sharply from year to year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the top 41% of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 110 in reading and 106 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 14% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). 93% of the families who made Selborne Church of England Primary School their first choice were offered a Reception place for September 2026, even though the school made at least as many offers as it had first choices - the rest withdrew, moved or fell outside a priority group. Overall pupil absence was 6.6%. There are about 15.5 pupils per teacher. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 7% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. Selborne Church of England Primary 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.
