Admissions

The Romsey School serves a wide area and we welcome applications from students who want to join us; wherever they are located. The school is easily accessible by both bus and train and the stations are a very short distance away from the site. We also flex our transport according to the needs of the student body. We are a popular school and places are allocated mostly on a distance “as the bird flies” basis, but if you have a sibling in the school, are a Looked After Child, and/or have a parent who works here that also enhances your application. The admissions policy is on our website.

The traditional catchment area is the greater part of Romsey and the surrounding villages of Ampfield, Awbridge, Braishfield, Sherfield English, Michelmersh and Timsbury. The part of Romsey within the catchment area lies to the north of the old Eastleigh to Romsey railway line, east of the Sun Arch, north of the A27 from the Sun Arch to the Plaza roundabout, continuing along the bypass over Middlebridge.

In addition to students from our catchment area the school benefits from students travelling to school from a wide area including Southampton, Oakfield Primary in Totton, Wiltshire and the surrounding villages.

Admissions for families who are moving into the area or looking to change schools are dealt with by the Headteacher, . For information on places and to make an initial appointment with the Headteacher please contact Louise Adams, on 01794 527072 (direct line) or email: ladams@romsey.hants.sch.uk.

For people who would just like a tour these can be arranged on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday morning. If you would like to arrange to have a look around the school please also contact Louise Adams who will make an appointment for you.
