Check the area around this school
49th 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.
Narrow the comparison to the 1,942 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.0/10 among them, against 8.3/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 77.0 · 82 | 40% | 3.28 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 15.0 · 84 | 25% | 2.09 |
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 Froxfield Church of England Primary and Pre-School
Overview
Froxfield Church of England Primary and Pre-School continues to be a good school, providing a “nurturing, kind and supportive” environment where pupils are happy and embrace values of “love, courage and respect”. The school maintains high expectations for all learners, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, within a “calm and purposeful” setting characterised by impressive behaviour and positive relationships.
Strengths
- The curriculum is “broad and ambitious” and “carefully sequenced”, ensuring pupils build knowledge in a logical order from pre-school through to Year 6.
- Reading is central to provision, with a consistent approach to phonics that helps pupils become “confident and fluent readers” who develop a genuine love of literature.
- Pupils demonstrate “impressive” behaviour, being friendly and courteous, while the school’s rules are consistently applied to support effective learning.
- Wider development is a strength, with a “very well structured” personal, social, health and economic education curriculum and an impressive range of activities that ensure no barriers to participation.
- Governors provide “effective support and challenge”, and leaders are mindful of staff workload, resulting in a united team behind the school’s vision.
Areas to improve
- Assessment in some foundation subjects is less well developed than in core subjects; the school must ensure assessment processes enable teachers to routinely identify gaps in knowledge and plan future learning that builds precisely on what pupils already know.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
