Check the area around this school
213rd 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 4,185 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.3/10 among them, against 3.8/10 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 | 54.0 · 26 | 62% | 1.59 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 8.0 · 57 | 38% | 2.19 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

The inspection highlights "warm and trusting relationships with staff" and a "strong ethos of mutual respect and trust" that ensures pupils feel safe and supported.
Strengths

- The provision for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is a "strength," with needs identified "quickly and accurately" and effective support strategies implemented.

Areas to improve
