Check the area around this school
27th of 300 primary schools in Hampshire we can score, 420 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 — 7.6/10 against 4,206 of them, against 7.9/10 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 | 71.0 · 68 | 62% | 4.19 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 24.0 · 95 | 38% | 3.67 |
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 Dogmersfield Church of England Primary School
Overview
Pupils at Dogmersfield Church of England Primary School “flourish in warm relationships with staff” and feel safe within a supportive environment. The school delivers a “broad and ambitious curriculum” that is well adapted for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), resulting in strong academic outcomes, particularly in writing. While personal development is rated as outstanding, the report notes that curriculum sequencing requires refinement in a few subjects to ensure learning is sharply focused.
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate “exceptional” character development, underpinned by school values of “love, courage and respect” and opportunities for leadership roles.
- Reading is a significant strength, with pupils described as “fluent and enthusiastic readers” supported by consistent phonics teaching and effective interventions.
- The inclusive ethos ensures pupils with SEND achieve well, with staff quickly identifying needs and adapting learning from pupils’ starting points.
- Children make a “positive start in the early years,” benefiting from a well-organised curriculum that prioritises language and communication skills.
- Governors provide effective challenge and support, while staff feel well supported regarding workload and professional development.
Areas to improve
- In a few subjects, “precise knowledge pupils need to know has not been sequenced effectively,” meaning learning is not sharply focused on what pupils need to know. The school should strengthen curriculum sequencing in these areas.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
