Check the area around this school
227th 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 3,978 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.2/10 among them, against 2.7/10 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 | 59.0 · 37 | 41% | 1.50 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 34% | 1.75 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 26% | 0.27 |
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 Hawley Primary School
Overview
Hawley Primary School is described as a place where staff, pupils, and parents work constructively to ensure children learn “safely and happily.” The recently appointed leadership team has “raised expectations in all areas of school life,” fostering a community where pupils are “keen to learn” and value enrichment opportunities. The report highlights a positive atmosphere with calm behaviour and strong relationships, noting that pupils feel safe and are confident in seeking support from trusted adults.
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate “empathy for people in other parts of the world” and are aware of current affairs, such as supporting those in Ukraine.
- “Effective leadership and strong subject knowledge in English and mathematics” ensure pupils learn well in these core subjects.
- A new phonics programme has been “quickly and securely established,” with early indications showing improved reading progress.
- The early years curriculum is “well planned,” allowing children to “concentrate and focus for extended periods of time.”
- Staff are “quick to identify the needs of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities” and make suitable adjustments.
Areas to improve
- In some subjects, such as geography, learning is “not always as well sequenced as it could be,” and work set is not always ambitious enough.
- Teachers do not always possess the specific subject knowledge needed to deliver the revised curriculum, meaning teaching does not always build on prior learning effectively.
- Governors need to further increase their oversight of school development, having previously not been “actively involved in deciding the improvement priorities.”
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective,” with leaders ensuring a strong culture where staff understand it is “everyone’s responsibility to keep pupils safe.”
