Check the area around this school
225th 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 1,305 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.9/10 among them, against 2.8/10 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 | 60.0 · 39 | 40% | 1.56 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
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 Grateley Primary School
Overview
Grateley Primary School continues to be a good school, offering an inclusive environment where pupils thrive and feel safe. Leaders have designed a broad curriculum that supports deep learning in most subjects, though some areas require further refinement to ensure consistent high standards across the board.
Strengths
- Pupils value the "inclusive family atmosphere" and feel safe because they know "staff really care."
- Teachers expertly plan tasks that enable all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, to learn well.
- Leaders prioritise reading with a "well-sequenced phonics programme," helping pupils read with confidence and catch up quickly if struggling.
- Strong routines create a "calm and purposeful learning environment" where pupils are focused and keen to learn.
- Governors take their role seriously, routinely challenging leaders with in-depth questions about the school’s work.
Areas to improve
- In a minority of subjects, leaders have not identified key knowledge or the sequence of learning precisely enough, leading to gaps in pupils’ understanding.
- Leaders need to strengthen and refine the curriculum so that content is clear and well sequenced in all subjects to ensure pupils achieve as well as they could.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with a strong culture of vigilance, clear record-keeping, and quick action taken in collaboration with external agencies.
