Check the area around this school
169th of 300 primary schools in Hampshire we can score, 420 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 4,318 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.5/10 among them, against 4.6/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 71.0 · 68 | 62% | 4.19 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 38% | 0.40 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Abbotts Ann Church of England Primary School
Overview
The inspection describes a school with a "strong inclusive ethos" where pupils "enjoy coming to school" and behave well. Leaders are "highly ambitious" for all pupils, ensuring effective support for those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and disadvantaged pupils. The curriculum is well sequenced, and staff display "sound subject knowledge," resulting in pupils achieving well in most areas.
Strengths
- Staff make "precise adaptations to learning" for pupils with SEND, helping them "think independently" and achieve well.
- Reading is "prioritised highly," with adept staff support ensuring pupils become "fluent and confident readers."
- Pupils are "polite, well mannered and respectful," contributing to a "warm and happy atmosphere."
- The school provides a "varied set of experiences," including leadership roles like the ‘eco team’ and visits to places of worship.
- Leaders consider staff "workload and well-being well," and the governing board fulfils its duties effectively.
Areas to improve
- In some wider curriculum subjects, teachers do not routinely check what pupils have remembered, meaning "pupils’ misconceptions or gaps in knowledge can go unnoticed."
- The school should ensure systems are in place to check understanding and address misconceptions so pupils can "build and connect knowledge over time."
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
