Schools in Aldershot: Primary, Junior, Infant and Secondary

Aldershot's state schools are mostly Hampshire County Council community and voluntary controlled schools, plus a few academies and a free school. The list below comes from the Department for Education's Get information about schools register (open establishments with a GU11 or GU12 postcode in Aldershot, local authority Hampshire). It is a list, not a ranking: we do not rate or compare schools here.

State schools in Aldershot

Infant schools take children from age 4 or 5 to 7, junior schools from 7 to 11, and primary schools run the whole 4 to 11 range. Alderwood School is an all-through school for ages 4 to 16, and it is the only state school in the register for GU11/GU12 that teaches secondary-age pupils on a normal admissions route. Rowhill School (alternative provision) and Inclusion School Aldershot (an independent special school) are in the register but are not places you apply for in the usual way.

The table gives the address and age range from the register. Each school's own website is in the list below it, so you can read admissions details, term dates and contact numbers first-hand.

Ash and Ash Vale also use GU12 postcodes, but the schools there (such as Ash Manor, Shawfield and Holly Lodge) are in Surrey and apply through Surrey County Council, so they are not listed here.

How to apply for a place

For Hampshire schools you apply through Hampshire County Council's school admissions service, even if you are applying to a church school or academy. You name your preferred schools in order. Hampshire's published key dates for the September 2027 main round are:

See Hampshire's key dates, secondary application page and reception application page. Each school's admission policy sets out how places are offered when a school is full, so read the policy for any school you are considering.

If your child is in a service family and you have a posting date, Hampshire publishes a separate service families application process.

Where to read Ofsted reports

Ofsted publishes every inspection report at reports.ofsted.gov.uk. Search by school name, URN (the register above lists each school's URN) or postcode. Read the full report rather than a one-line summary, and check the date of the inspection.

Before you rely on this list

Schools open, merge and change phase. Confirm the school's current status and age range on Get information about schools and on its own website before you apply.
