Check the area around this school
123rd 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 4,123 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.6/10 among them, against 5.9/10 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 | 64.0 · 49 | 40% | 1.97 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 12.0 · 74 | 25% | 1.85 |
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 Andrews' Endowed Church of England Primary School
Overview
Pupils enjoy attending this welcoming school, where they feel happy and well looked after within a community that embraces values of "love, courage and respect". Leaders set "extremely high expectations" for behaviour, resulting in pupils who are "highly attentive" and achieve well, with a curriculum that is "purposefully made relevant" for all learners.
Strengths
- Pupils exhibit "exceptional" behaviour, playing happily together and showing "impeccable" conduct at external events.
- The 'buddy' system fosters strong relationships between older and younger pupils, helping them feel welcome.
- Leaders have created an "ambitious curriculum" with high expectations for all, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities.
- Reading is prioritised effectively, with children becoming "confident and fluent readers" through phonics-based teaching and engaging schemes.
- Teachers possess "strong subject knowledge" and use strategies like 'flashback four' to help pupils retain and apply prior learning.
Areas to improve
- In a small number of subjects, essential learning is not clearly identified, preventing pupils from building on prior knowledge as effectively as they might.
- In Reception, staff do not consistently support children’s conversation, limiting opportunities for them to discuss their learning and develop communication skills.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, supported by a "strong safeguarding culture" where staff are well trained and leaders show "tenacity in getting the right support for families and children".
