Brighton Hill Community School
Basingstoke, RG22 4HS · Hampshire · secondary school
30th of 67 secondary schools in Hampshire we can score, 69 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 865 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.7/10 among them, against 5.0/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 44.1 · 50 | 30% | 1.52 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.01 · 51 | 25% | 1.28 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 44.5 · 43 | 10% | 0.43 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 44.1% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 44.5, against a national median of 44.6.

Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.7 out of 10 among them, against 5.0 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Humanities, Warhammer, and Yarn Crafts clubs, or serve as Drama, Art, Dance, or Music Ambassadors. Sports include Touch Rugby, Cricket, Athletics, and Basketball. Arts options cover Orchestra, Steel Pans, and Photography. Trips range from Kitzbuhel and New York to Morocco and South Africa. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.
Getting in. The school has 1282 pupils in a capacity of 1259, meaning it is over capacity by 23. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the pressure of being over capacity with 23 extra pupils? What specific support is offered to pupils who are not on track for Grade 5 in English and maths? How does the curriculum balance the wide range of extracur
