Chawton Church of England Primary School

Alton, GU34 1SG · Hampshire · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2024 Inspected 1 year ago Mixed Primary Church of England
6.9/10 Above average

58th 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 8.6/10 against 3,572 of them, against 7.9/10 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, 78.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 11.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in December 2024. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (8.6 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.9 out of 10 against all schools).

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can learn piano, violin, flute, drums, and iRock. The school provides both a breakfast club and an after-school club.

Getting in. There are 101 pupils in a school with 105 places, leaving 4 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. With only 4 places remaining, how does the school manage waitlists for new starters? How are the music lessons structured for beginners? What are the specific times for the breakfast and after-school clubs?
