Check the area around this school
257th 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 4.3/10 against 493 of them, against 2.9/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 50.0 · 19 | 62% | 1.17 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 6.0 · 45 | 38% | 1.72 |
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 Haselworth Primary School
Overview
This inspection found a school where pupils are "happy" and demonstrate "strong relationships" with staff, yet academic achievement is variable due to recent leadership instability. While behaviour and personal development are rated as good, the quality of education and leadership require improvement because recent curriculum changes have not yet fully addressed gaps in pupil knowledge.
Strengths
- Pupils show "respect to others" and are "enthusiastic in lessons," contributing to a positive atmosphere.
- Early years provision is effective, with children showing "high levels of independence and resilience."
- There is a "clear focus on teaching reading," with staff trained in phonics-based approaches.
- Parents receive "regular and useful information" via an online platform, establishing strong communication.
- Safeguarding arrangements are "effective," and pupils benefit from interactions with local community services.
Areas to improve
- Staff must better identify and address "pupils’ errors and misconceptions" to prevent gaps in knowledge.
- Leaders should improve "task design" so activities clearly contribute to learning intentions.
- The school needs to fully evaluate the impact of recent curriculum changes to ensure pupils are prepared for their next steps.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
