260th 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 3,314 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.0/10 among them, against 1.6/10 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 | 40% | 0.76 |
| 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 Hyde Church of England Primary School
Overview
This is a small primary school with “big ambitions” where pupils gain significantly from its membership of the Forest Edge Learning Federation. The report highlights a “positive and nurturing environment” where children flourish socially and emotionally, supported by a curriculum designed to give them “strong roots to grow tall.”
Strengths
- Pupils develop “confidence and character” through a meticulously designed programme that nurtures social and emotional attributes, including understanding concepts like justice and diversity.
- The curriculum is “well designed” to build knowledge systematically, with early reading skills taught “accurately and methodically” from Reception.
- Staff are “skilled at noticing any pupil who is faltering” and providing quick additional support, ensuring no child is left behind.
- Leaders ensure all pupils benefit from the same curriculum, including “50 special experiences” such as visiting art galleries or making films, which “bring the curriculum to life.”
- Governors and leaders engage in comprehensive training and professional development, ensuring teaching is “knowledgeable” and purposeful.
Areas to improve
- The school must continue work on retrieval strategies so pupils “routinely revisit and embed their subject-specific learning,” as they currently struggle to recall key details from subjects not recently studied.
- Leaders need to ensure that the focus on the broad curriculum does not distract from plans to further improve pupils’ learning in core subjects, specifically writing and mathematics.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
