Linked schools
- Barton Stacey C E Primary School
- Longparish C E Primary School
- Overton C E Primary School
- St Mary Bourne Primary School
- Whitchurch C E Primary School
The term 'linked' is used to indicate schools with a close association to each other. Linked schools are not 'feeder' schools and attendance at a linked school does not guarantee a place. However, for admission to community secondary schools, out-of-catchment applicants attending a linked primary or junior school have priority, after those with siblings, over other out-of-catchment applicants. Please check the school's admission policy (see link above) for details.
