If your child was born between 1st September 2020 and 31st August 2021, they will be eligible to start school in the school year beginning September 2025.
We have put a wealth of information below to try and give you a overview of what it is like to attend St Johns Primary School.
If you have not yet applied for a school place, please get in touch if you would like to book a visit.
While the main round applications have now closed for Year R 2025, you can still make a late application.
The following link will take you to Hampshire County Council's Admission portal, which is where you can submit an application for a school place. It also has lots of information about the application process and what you can expect.
