Outstanding Schools in Fleet

June 13, 2025

Fleet in Hampshire continues to attract families from across the South East, not least because of its excellent reputation for education. It’s also the key reason that many families remain in Fleet when they move.

Whether you’re planning a move or simply reviewing the options available locally, the town presents a selection of Ofsted-rated ‘Outstanding’ schools, offering a superb foundation for children from early years through to secondary level.

Exceptional Primary and Infant Schools

Fleet is home to a number of primary and infant schools noted for their teaching quality, supportive environments and pupil development:

  • Elvetham Heath Primary School
    For children aged 4–11, this school is frequently recognised for its high academic performance and warm, inclusive approach.
  • Heatherside Infant and Junior Schools
    These paired schools provide a continuous learning journey from Reception through to Year 6, with the infant school focusing on early development and the junior school building on those key foundations.
  • Church Crookham Junior School
    Serving pupils aged 7–11, this school is recognised for strong leadership and a positive, inclusive ethos that helps children thrive both academically and personally.
  • Tweseldown Infant School
    Catering to children aged 4–7, this well-regarded school offers a nurturing environment, with strong leadership, outstanding personal development opportunities and a well-planned focus on early reading.
  • Fleet Infant and Velmead Junior Schools
    Located on Velmead Road, these neighbouring schools cater to children aged 4–7 and 7–11 respectively. Fleet Infant offers a vibrant and encouraging atmosphere for early learning, while Velmead Junior builds on that foundation with strong teaching and inclusive values. The schools often coordinate to support a smooth transition and consistent approach to children’s development.

With such a robust mix of early education providers, family life in Fleet gives children a confident and supportive start to their schooling.

Highly Regarded Secondary Schools
Fleet’s two main secondary schools attract strong parental interest due to their results and pastoral care.

  • Calthorpe Park School
    A popular co-educational school with a large student body, Calthorpe Park is known for consistent academic results and the impressive progress pupils make during their time there.
  • Court Moor School
    A smaller school with a community-focused ethos, Court Moor adds to academic achievement, with a strong emphasis on character development.
    Both schools are exceptionally popular with families both within Fleet and in surrounding areas.

Independent Schooling
Families seeking a private education route may consider St Nicholas’ School, located just outside Fleet in Church Crookham. This independent school for girls (ages 3–16) provides a well-rounded education in a scenic, supportive setting.

Fleet continues to stand out as an excellent choice for families, thanks in no small part to the high standards of education available. With such varied and promising schools to meet children’s needs, Fleet recommends itself to parents prioritising education.
