Check the area around this school
66th 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 910 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.2/10 among them, against 1.0/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2025/26 | 27.6 · 11 | 45% | 0.51 |
| Ofsted | 1 | 40% | 0.03 |
| Attainment 8 2025/26 | 36.3 · 8 | 15% | 0.11 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Danebury School overview
How it's doing
The school was rated Inadequate by Ofsted in 2022. In 2024/25, 23.4% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 34.3, compared to the national median of 44.6. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (0.1 out of 10 against similar schools, 0.6 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom
Pupils can join MFL Language Club, Creative Writing, Art, DT, Dungeons and Dragons, Judo, Ecologists, and Duolingo clubs. Sports include Indoor Football, Basketball, Netball, Rugby, and Badminton. Arts activities feature Oliver Production Rehearsals and KS3 Drama Club. An after-school club is available.
Getting in
The published school roll is 357 pupils against a stated capacity of 780. These whole-school figures do not establish entry-year vacancies or the likelihood of an offer. Confirm entry-year availability and admissions criteria with the school or local authority.
Worth asking on a visit
How is the school addressing the specific areas highlighted in the 2022 Inadequate rating? What support structures are in place to help pupils close the attainment gap? How does the school monitor progress for students joining in the current entry year?
