10th of 69 secondary schools in Hampshire we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 536 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.8/10 among them, against 7.4/10 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% | 1.84 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2025/26 | 57.6 · 78 | 30% | 2.34 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.24 · 68 | 25% | 1.70 |
| Attainment 8 2025/26 | 51.8 · 77 | 10% | 0.77 |
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 Calthorpe Park School
Overview
Calthorpe Park School continues to be a good school, where leaders are ambitious for all pupils to achieve well and develop into well-rounded individuals. Pupils enjoy learning a challenging curriculum and appreciate the support from teachers and pastoral staff, with GCSE results having improved greatly since the last inspection. The school fosters positive relationships and provides a broad range of academic and vocational subjects, preparing pupils well for their next steps in education.
Strengths
- The curriculum is ambitious and well planned in most subjects, with English identified as a particular strength where staff build on prior knowledge effectively.
- Pupils are safe and trust staff, with bullying usually resolved by the pastoral team and ‘anti-bullying ambassadors’, and discrimination being ‘called out’.
- Staff receive clear guidance on supporting pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), and extra support helps struggling readers develop secure skills.
- The personal, social, health and economic education curriculum is well planned, tackling difficult issues such as ‘toxic masculinity’ and promoting mental health.
- The vast majority of staff feel valued and well supported by leaders, who take staff well-being seriously.
Areas to improve
- Leaders should ensure the key stage 3 curriculum in foundation subjects is comparable in ambition to the national curriculum, as pupils do not currently study some subjects in sufficient depth.
- Leaders should continue efforts to promote modern foreign languages to increase the number of pupils achieving the English Baccalaureate.
- Leaders need to analyse participation rates in extra-curricular activities to tailor offerings and ensure all pupils, including disadvantaged pupils, have a fair chance to take part.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with a strengthened team including specialists from social services, the police, and healthcare working well with external agencies to support pupils at risk.
