Check the area around this school
62nd of 69 secondary schools in Hampshire we can score. 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 — 2.4/10 against 604 of them, against 1.8/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2025/26 | 32.9 · 20 | 45% | 0.91 |
| Ofsted | 1 | 40% | 0.03 |
| Attainment 8 2025/26 | 37.2 · 10 | 15% | 0.14 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
King's Academy Brune Park overview
How it's doing
The school was rated Inadequate by Ofsted in 2023. In 2024/25, 16.3% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 33.0, compared to the national median of 44.6. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (0.1 out of 10 against similar schools, 0.2 out of 10 against all schools).
Getting in
The published school roll is 1,167 pupils against a stated capacity of 1,755. These whole-school figures do not establish entry-year vacancies or the likelihood of an offer. Confirm entry-year availability and admissions criteria with the school or local authority.
Worth asking on a visit
How does the school plan to address the Inadequate rating from the 2023 inspection? What specific steps are being taken to improve Attainment 8 scores? How does the school support pupils in reaching the national median for English and maths?
