146th 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 4,296 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.3/10 among them, against 5.2/10 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 | 75.0 · 78 | 40% | 3.11 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
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 Appleshaw St Peter's CofE Primary School
Overview
Appleshaw St Peter’s C of E Primary School continues to be a good school, where leaders maintain high expectations and pupils learn the knowledge needed to prepare well for secondary school. The school is described as a happy place where pupils feel safe, behave well, and show genuine care for one another. However, inconsistencies in curriculum implementation and reading instruction mean that some younger pupils do not learn to read quickly enough or make as much progress as they could in certain subjects.
Strengths
- Leaders provide a "well-sequenced curriculum" and ensure teachers’ workload is manageable while offering useful training.
- Pupils take pride in their school, taking on leadership roles such as library assistants and digital leaders to promote reading and online safety.
- Teachers make "purposeful adaptations" to support pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), helping them build necessary knowledge and skills.
- Safeguarding arrangements are effective, with staff receiving helpful training to quickly identify pupils at risk and liaising swiftly with outside agencies.
- Pupils enjoy a rich range of opportunities beyond the curriculum, including popular clubs like football and judo, ensuring disadvantaged pupils and those with SEND can attend.
Areas to improve
- Leaders need to ensure clarity in the approach to teaching reading so that younger pupils build reading fluency more swiftly.
- Subject leaders must monitor carefully to ensure agreed approaches to delivering the curriculum and assessing learning are consistently implemented across all subjects.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective," noting that staff are clear on how to raise concerns and that leaders act swiftly to support pupils and families.
