Castle Hill Primary School
Basingstoke, RG23 8BN · Hampshire · primary school
143rd 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 5.4/10 against 3,486 of them, against 5.2/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 67.0 · 57 | 40% | 2.28 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| 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.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 67.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared with the national median of 64%. Only 6.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2024. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (5.4 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.2 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join the Outdoor Explorers club and attend trips including the Year 6 Stubbington Residential, Year 5 Science Dome Workshop, Year 3 Farleigh Wallop Estate Trip, and Year 4 Roman Day. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.
Getting in. The school has 651 pupils in a capacity of 660, leaving 9 spare places. With so few vacancies, places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the transition for Year 6 pupils moving to secondary education? What specific support is offered to the 6.0% of pupils who reach the higher standard? How are the 9 remaining places allocated if demand exceeds capacity?
