Check the area around this school
84th 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 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 | 63.0 · 46 | 40% | 1.85 |
| Ofsted | 92 | 35% | 3.20 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 6.0 · 45 | 25% | 1.12 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Beaulieu Village Primary School overview
How it's doing
In 2024/25, 63.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 6.0% of pupils, against a national median of 7%. An Ofsted inspection in January 2026 assessed the school under the new framework, which grades areas separately without an overall grade.

Pupils can join the Beaulieu Bolt sports team, with breakfast and after-school clubs available for wraparound care.

What Ofsted said about Beaulieu Village Primary School
Overview
The inspection found that leaders and governors provide meaningful oversight, creating a culture of "collective responsibility" and high-quality teaching. The school delivers a "broad, ambitious and coherently sequenced" curriculum that effectively supports pupils’ knowledge, wellbeing, and personal development. Most pupils achieve at least in line with national expectations, with disadvantaged pupils typically performing particularly well.
Strengths
- Attendance and behaviour are rated at a "strong standard," with leaders taking a "meticulous and proactive approach" to removing barriers and maintaining "calm" classrooms.
- The curriculum is "carefully mapped" to ensure pupils "revisit and deepen their understanding," supported by "consistently high quality" teaching and effective phonics instruction.
- Inclusion is a "clear, strategic approach," ensuring pupils with special educational needs receive "timely, personalised support" that effectively removes barriers to learning.
- Personal development is "deliberately planned," helping pupils build resilience, understand ethical issues, and feel a strong "sense of belonging."
- Early years provision is excellent, with children developing "secure foundations of knowledge in language and number" through purposeful play and skilled staff interactions.
Areas to improve
- Leaders should ensure that work undertaken to address gaps in pupils' prior knowledge is "embedded so that all pupils achieve as well as they can."
Safeguarding
The safeguarding standards are met, with leaders establishing an "open culture in which safeguarding is everyone's responsibility" and concerns are actively identified and managed.
