Schools in Waterlooville
Named for a roadside inn rechristened after the 1815 Battle of Waterloo, Waterlooville grew along the old A3 Portsmouth road into the largest town in Hampshire's Borough of Havant. The town counts around 64,000 residents.
Stakes is among the most school-competitive corners of the area, drawing families who compete for primary places in this northeast part of the South Hampshire conurbation. Nearby Havant station puts Portsmouth Harbour within ten minutes by South Western Railway and Southampton Central in around thirty. Clanfield, Horndean, and Hambledon spread north and west, adding quieter residential choices across the open Hampshire countryside.
