78th 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 6.2/10 among them, against 7.0/10 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 | 8.0 · 57 | 25% | 1.43 |
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 Barton Stacey Church of England Primary School
Overview
Barton Stacey Church of England Primary School continues to be a good school, described by parents and staff as the ‘Barton Stacey Family’ due to its caring nature. Pupils are happy, joyful, and feel well supported, with a strong focus on building character and social skills rooted in Christian values. The school provides a calm environment where children are proud of how they treat each other and are well prepared for their next educational steps.
Strengths
- Pupils are ‘happy and joyful’ and feel supported, with adults knowing them well to organise help ‘quickly and efficiently’.
- The distinctive curriculum fosters a ‘real enjoyment of learning’, with pupils ‘interested and engaged’ and building knowledge steadily in subjects like reading and mathematics.
- Reading is a clear priority; pupils ‘love to read’ and benefit from a precise phonics programme that helps new readers learn quickly and feel ‘successful and confident’.
- Support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is ‘strong’, ensuring they feel included and achieve well through targeted interventions.
- Attendance is steadily improving due to high expectations and diligent support for families, while a wide range of clubs and activities enriches pupils’ experiences.
Areas to improve
- In some foundation subjects, the sequencing of component knowledge is not clearly identified, leading to variance in curriculum implementation and depth of knowledge.
- Some tasks do not effectively help pupils learn the ambitious curriculum, particularly regarding regular opportunities to write, which hinders the development of writing skills.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
