Ofsted report card · 2026 Lowest area: Needs attention Mixed Primary Church of England
5.5/10 Broadly average

130th of 301 primary schools in Hampshire we can score, 423 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 3,795 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.6/10 among them, against 8.1/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Get to know the school

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 75.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 17.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2026. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.6 out of 10 among them, against 8.1 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils access a wide range of activities, including Wild Adventures, Judo, Boppin, Choir, Computing, Lego Club, Arts and Crafts, and Homework support. Sports options include Gymnastics, Football, Rugby Club, and Fun Fitness Club. Arts and music clubs feature Dance, Doodle, Stop Motion, Chess, Cook Stars, Ketsy Magic, Fun Science, and iRock. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.

Getting in. The school has 179 pupils in a capacity of 218, leaving 39 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard in maths? What specific support is available during the breakfast and after-school clubs? How does the curriculum adapt for the smaller class sizes resulting from the current pupil numbers?
