Families in Bursledon and Netley Abbey are being asked for their views on plans that could change which primary schools some children are sent to.
Hampshire County Council has launched a consultation on extending the shared catchment area for four local schools to include more homes south of the current boundary.
The proposals would affect Bursledon CE (Controlled) Infant School, Bursledon (CA) Junior School, Netley Abbey Infant School and Netley Abbey Junior School.
Under the plans, properties around Beverley Gardens, Pound Road, Priors Hill Lane and Luck Road would be added to the shared catchment area from September 2028.

The council said the plans would update school boundaries to reflect new housing in the area.
The shared catchment arrangement was introduced following housing growth between Netley and Bursledon, allowing families in the area to apply for places at either set of schools.
There would be no changes to secondary school catchment areas, and pupils already attending the schools would not see any changes.
The proposed arrangements would apply to children applying for Year R and Year 3 places as part of the main admissions round for September 2028.
Residents have until Tuesday, September 29, to submit their views. Comments can be emailed to strategicplanningunit@hants.gov.uk.
The council will consider residents’ views before holding a further consultation later this year. A final decision is expected in February 2027.
