37th 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 — 9.2/10 against 4,240 of them, against 9.1/10 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 | 84.0 · 93 | 40% | 3.72 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 17.0 · 87 | 25% | 2.18 |
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 Hook-With-Warsash Church of England Academy
Overview
Hook-With-Warsash Church of England Academy continues to be a good school, characterised by an inclusive and caring ethos where pupils are "joyful, well behaved and enthusiastic". The report highlights a strong sense of community, with high expectations that pupils consistently meet through a creative and engaging curriculum.
Strengths
- Inclusion is central, with effective support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) through strategies like "pre-teach" and visual aids.
- Mathematics is taught well from early years, using practical equipment and booster groups to ensure accessibility and mastery for all pupils.
- Reading is highly prioritised, with effective catch-up interventions helping pupils become "fluent and confident readers" by the end of key stage 1.
- Behaviour is described as "exemplary", fostering a respectful atmosphere where lessons are not disrupted.
- Leaders provide "brilliant leadership, compassion, hard work and professionalism", managing staff workload and well-being diligently.
Areas to improve
- In some foundation subjects, teachers do not consistently emphasise the most important content, meaning pupils sometimes struggle to recall prior learning. The school should ensure staff focus on key knowledge, skills, and vocabulary, and check that pupils have retained this information.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
