Near the source of the northern branch of the River Wey in East Hampshire, Alton is a market town with deep historical roots, first documented in the Domesday Survey of 1086 and now home to some 19,000 residents across its neighbourhoods.
Four Marks stands among the most sought-after pockets for primary catchments within the area, with Amery Hill extending the school-competitive envelope to the south. South Western Railway connects the town to Winchester and Basingstoke. Bentworth, Chawton, and Holybourne form additional residential settlements that complete the wider school catchment zone surrounding Alton.
